DAY 3

Tom Allin 4-14 and Paul Best 4-38 made short work of the Derbyshire batsmen in their second innings on the final day as the vistors crashed to a below par 124 mid-way through the afternoon session.

Only last man Smith 28 with some long handled hitting added any repectability to a long lost cause, as the Bears won by a comfortable 164 runs.

Ateeq Javid and Andy Miller took the other two wickets to fall.

DAY 2

Derbyshire continued batting on the second morning, with skipper Jonathan Clare completing his century before finally being dismissed for 121 from 134 deliveries.

He received good late order support from Higginbotham 27 as Derbyshire held a ten run first innings lead.

Tom Allin, 4-60 was the pick of the bowlers with Miller 2-42, Piolet 2-43 and Best 2-42 taking the other Derbyshire wickets.

James Ord was in good form for Warwickshire when they started their second innings, making 97 from one hundred and forty ball including seventeen fours and a six while Ateeq Javid fifty, from seventy two balls, also batted strongly. Calum MacLeod, in good recent form with the bat, continued his run making a useful forty four before the innings closed just before stumps on the second day for 298 leaving Derbyshire a target of 289 for victory on the final day.
