Match scorecard |
Nottinghamshire will begin day three of their County Championship match with a lead of 74 after a day that began with a flurry of boundaries turned at times into an attritional battle that reflected well on an inexperienced Derbyshire attack.
Ben Duckett top scored with 86 but, although every other Nottinghamshire batter bar Haseeb Hameed was able to build the foundations of an innings, none were able to make a score of real substance.
Although a couple of dismissals could be put down to poor shots, the hard work put in by 23-year-old Sam Conners, who claimed 3-80, and 19-year-old Nick Potts – who finished with figures of 2-39 – in leading a makeshift seam attack earned its rewards.
