Some legal advice please.

If one person wants to watch the cricket highlights on telly but another person wants to watch 'The One Show' at the same time and a frank discussion fails to yield agreement on the matter, is the former person entitled to seize control of the goggle box on the grounds that the Test match is a matter of national interest while 'The One Show' is a bunch of vacuous, rambling fluff?

And is the latter person guilty of treason?

Following my report in the Mail, last week, about the ridiculous lack of play until 4.30pm in the recent FPL game with Leicestershire at Edgbaston, a lot of people have come up to me to say they wholeheartedly agree with its main thrust: that spectators at county games are often outrageously denied cricket on grounds of alleged rain and bad light.

Thank you to all who said they enjoyed the piece and endorse the views offered in it. It is a subject I feel quite strongly about.

I will return to the theme at length in Tuesday's Mail and will be returning to it again whenever the opportunity arises. I would not describe it as anything as grand as a "campaign" but the Birmingham Mail is determined to do all it can to cajole, encourage and embarrass the cricket industry into treating its customers with greater respect - and delivering to them greater value.

Please join in. Write to the Mail. Write to Warwickshire CCC. Write to the ECB.
Contact your MP. Lobby any umpire you see around. Organise petitions. Hold rallies. Chain yourself to railings.

Cricket followers, in general are groovy types. Patient, civilised and dignified.

Also, often, horribly taken for granted. Make your voices heard.

Close: Derbyshire 323 for 5 (98 overs). Klokker 76, Pipe 24. 283 in front.

Warwickshire ended the day, accordng to a press-box occupant, "fractious and dispirited". Not sure about that but the bowling did appear worryingly limited. And how long will it take Salisbury's 38-year-old hamstring to heal?

Another heroic Northampton-type run chase will be required tomorrow.

Derbyshire 309 for 5 (88 overs). Klokker 76, Pipe 10.

Klokker, on 56, edged Carter but Trott grassed a straightforward catch at first slip.

Rogers galloped to 64 before edging Carter to Richard Johnson.

Salisbury is off the field nursing a sore hamstring.

Zondeki has been officially warned for running on the pitch.

The good news?

Er, any offers?

Derbyshire 238 for 4 (81 overs). Klokker (career-best) 49, Rogers 36.

Maddy has made 14 bowling changes in this innings so far. He has declined to take the new ball straight away.

This game is getting away from Warwickshire a bit.

Val Doonican had a series on telly for 27 successive years. Now that's longevity.

Derbyshire 201 for 4 (72 hours). Klokker 36, Rogers 15.

Maddy deceives Clarke with a slower ball and the Surrey captain (81, 161 balls) chips it to Anyon at mid-on.

Rather ominously for Warwickshire, Rogers has returned to the crease and walloped his first ball back through the covers for four.

The flurry of bowling changes twixt lunch and tea baffled the media representatives.

It wasn't just one cake, by the way, it was one big cake and lots of little ones. Nice.

Tea. Derbyshire 183 for 3 (65 overs). Clarke 77, Klokker 31.

The last over before tea summed up the flow of the match. Clarke, confidence rising, twice lifted Botha back over his head for four in an over that went for ten.

This could well prove a match-winning partnership.

One or two balls have spat rather than spun. Chasing 200-plus will be no cakewalk.

Talking of cake, one has just arrived in the box. Scuse me...

Derbyshire 167 for 3 (62 overs). Clarke 63, Klokker 29.

This is an impressive century stand as Clarke reins himself in but punishes the bad ball well and Klokker, watched by another member of Berkswell's finest Dominic Ostler, plays a solid supporting role.

Maddy has made ten bowling changes since lunch in search of a cutting-edge.

Ambrose sustained his injury playing volleyball, by the way. Another for the catalogue of Bears' warm-up casualties down the years. Why don't they do something nice and safe like play crib or do crosswords on the outfield before play?

Derbyshire 93 for 3 (44 overs). Clarke 19, Klokker 6.

Derbyshire need a captain's innings from new skipper Clarke and he is knuckling down in a way he has not always done in his chequered career. He has just broke the, if I may use this appalling cliche, I'm embarrassed to use it but I'm committed to it now, too far in to abort so here goes, shackles by lifting Botha straight for four.
Zondeki plugging away at the other end.

This is like chess.

So who will prove to be Warwickshire's queen?

Derbyshire 62 for 3 (32 overs). Clarke 3, Klokker 0.

Botha wastes no time striking after lunch as, to his third ball, Telo offers an ill-judged sweep and top-edges to Salisbury at short fine leg. Telo batted 12 overs for a single.

Derbyshire are only 22 ahead and if Warwickshire can roll a couple more over quickly, they will be in a groovy position.
