Captain Powdered Milk II
Derbyshire 55 for 2 (22 overs). Sadler 5, Telo 0.
Maddy makes the breakthrough, swinging one in late to send Rogers on his way, lbw for 19, and then floats out a wide one at which Stubbings drives extravagantly and is brilliantly caught at slip by Bell.
Zondeki has come off after a worthy 9-2-13-0. Anyon has replaced him.
"His record is outstanding so far," a Derby-based journalist has just observed, regarding Paul Jewell's reign at Derby County. Tongue in cheek, I think.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Derbyhire is a county with a wide diversity of scenery and habitat and this makes it an ideal place for birds and birdwatching. The diverse habitats range from high peat bogs to grit-stone edges, heather and heath to moorlands, and from dales and river valleys to ancient and new woodland with large areas of pasture and industrial areas too.
It is a little known fact that Derby has the highest concentration of lizards per square kilometre than any other city in Western Europe. While walking in the city one afternoon in 1987, I counted three - one just outside the main entrance to Marks & Spencer, another beneath the vending machine in the bus station and another that had found its way into an old lady’s handbag (you could see the lizard's head sticking out of her bag as she ambled down the High Street).
In 1695 Derby gained a piped water supply (for those who could afford to be connected). The water was pumped along wooden pipes by a watermill.
