Derbyshire added 152 runs for their final two wickets to turn the tide on an otherwise dominant day for Nottinghamshire’s Second XI at Lady Bay, the visitors bowled out for 291 with Toby Pettman claiming three scalps. 

Zak Chappell and James Hayes both contributed with two wickets each, while Jake Ball, Calvin Harrison and Matt Carter snared a wicket apiece. 

Batting out the final eight overs of the day, Sol Budinger and Ben Martindale remained unbeaten for an opening stand worth 33. 

Having won the toss and elected to bat, the away side lost their first wicket in the second over courtesy of Pettman, who had Oli Soames caught by Matt Carter.

It opened the floodgates for a regular flow of wickets, with partnerships of 49 and 46 for the third and fifth wickets respectively the most Derbyshire could muster. 

Ball, meanwhile, continued his comeback from injury with 1-12 from his opening six overs. 

The introduction of Zaman Akhter at 139/8 prompted a change in fortunes for the visitors, however, and his combination with the set Kishen Valani halted the Green and Golds’ momentum. 

The former’s departure for a 50-ball 37, bowled by Hayes, paved the way for George Scrimshaw to partner Valani through to his century before his demise at the hands of Carter for 116 (161). 

Notts will resume day two 258 runs behind.
