The comentators have said it is a very used wicket.
THe camera work and vision mixing on the Derbyshire live stream isn't the best.
The visuals at both Derby & Leicester are particularly poor

Yeah, this is painful against the worst team in the division
We have to start being creative now & take risks. We have wickets in hand
Nice to get through the powerplay without losing any wickets for once. Wickets in hand is going to be important on a tricky batting surface.
Better going now
Notts with their noses in front currently, Leics going well but 3 wickets down & Northants putting Durham to the sword...........things are going to swing though
The outfield looks iffy as well, several simple misfields so far
Incredibly short boundaries.
Fair play to Latham, and fair play to Davies (sorry forum), this is probably a tricky pitch so keeping wickets in hand then going big looks shrewd. Awful, awful bowling though, goodness me.

This comment aged well. Hopefully as we have 9 bowlers to choose from we will defend this ok.
Excellent innings from Davies and Latham in particular.
It proves that you can have a look early doors as long as you have a plan to progress things.
Some poor bowling from Derbys though.

The only way to comment is live imo and it was not a great start but we held our nerve and worked our way into the innings, something we haven't been doing throughout the competition.........games change as they progress and I am pleased that both openers used this game to find their best form.
Notts look as though they will win & Leics all out for 185 which seems competitive
Great to see Latham get a really good score and also a really sensible inning from the captain. Pity we didn't get a 6 in last over to give them 12 an over
Key wicket of Donald already is crucial.
A comprehensive win tonight. We'll finish 3rd in the group and play 2nd in the South group in the QF's - Surrey or Somerset away - but either are a big ask for the Semi's.

Nice to see Lintott getting four overs and justifying it with three non catch wickets! Great result

So, I'm pretty sure we've got Somerset, at Taunton. Not easy.

A great performance this evening with both bat and ball, although the opposition weren't the best! Good to see Lintott take some wickets, and for Davies & Latham to get big scores.
So Somerset away, they're a decent side but not unbeatable by any means. We've batted pretty well throughout the Blast but our bowling has been inconsistent, we'll need to get the right blend in our bowling attack on the day.
Will Booth be fit for the quarter-final? Also is Beau Webster returning?
