GOOD AFTERNOON FROM DERBYSHIRE

It's an absolute scorcher in Derbyshire today for our Vitality Blast fixture, due to get underway at 6:30pm.

The only time the two sides have met in T20 cricket was in the Vitality Blast quarter final in 2022. It was a match that saw Somerset come out on top by 191 runs. Can we do the same again this evening?

  • 5.5 0 A full delivery on middle stump with no movement, met with a controlled drive that keeps the scoreboard quiet.
  • 5.4 1 A yorker aimed at leg stump, but Thomas Rew works it awkwardly to take a single with a mis-timed flick.
  • 5.3 6 On a back of a length delivery straight on off stump, Thomas Rew steps forward confidently and drives it with perfect timing. The shot races cleanly over mid-wicket for a magnificent six.
