I only saw little bits today, but there was one ball from their spinner that pitched and shot along the floor, but missed Came’s off stump. Don’t know if there was many like that though. Thomson is bowling well and might get 4 or 5 wickets but the others need to chip in as well.
Have to see how long we give ourselves to bowl them out. Gloucestershire look likely to lose, so the wooden spoon has been avoided….be aggressive.

450-8
Definitely have declared now 👀
Was a definite plan to get to 450 as quick as possible, it was almost T20 mode…
Wagstaff eventually out for 78.

Glamorgan commentator has stitched me up…weve not declared at all 😂😂

Two overs in to day 2, they've gone off for bad light. Haven't switched the floodlights on - perhaps the two bob's gone. In truth, it is VERY gloomy.

Derbyshire finding form at just the right time in the season 😂

Ah!
Moving swiftly on... 😂

Me, after he was dropped for a T20 game 😂
He has 100 now, Guest has 50.

Of course. Similar situation as George - leaving Derbyshire for pastures new, then the ECB feel that it's safe to call him up on the grounds that he must be OK after all.

First two overs were - well, THAT George, as we have seen on a few occasions in the past.
Fair play to him for putting the horror show behind him and THE OTHER George ended up taking 3 wickets.
"Two George Scrimshaws, there's only two George Scrimshaws...."

No coming back from the latest deluge….
Match Drawn 

It’s Cork.
Footitt made a test squad but never played.

We declared just at the right time but the weather denied us an interesting finish.

Raining in Belper

Was it stored at the correct temperature?

Did do. Zak and Sam warming up early, heavy roller on.

Need to declare at lunch.

I was surprised to hear that only Bob Taylor (twice) and Harvey Hosein had taken 7 in an innings for Derbyshire before. 

7 catches for Guest in the first innings.

Luis Reece passed 50 for the fifth consecutive innings today. 704 runs at an average of 70 this season 👏

94-1 at close.
bat until lunch and then put them back in? It’s unlikely they will collapse again, but you’ve got to give it a go.

Balls moving about a bit, a bit of uneven bounce, but it’s not a minefield or anything. Some poor shots got Sussex in trouble and then they’ve collapsed in a manner that would make Derbyshire proud 😀

I don't know the conditions, but I just wondered based on how Sussex have struggled this morning and if it stays dry the pitch should improve tomorrow? I agree with you though. There's always a concern we'll make batting on this surface look even more difficult than our opponents.
