DCCC v LCCC Day 2 Tea: Godleman and Durston lead Derbyshire’s recovery
A fourth wicket stand of 148 between Billy Godleman and Wes Durston led Derbyshire’s recovery before Lancashire’s bowlers hit back strongly in the second session of the Division Two match at Derby.
The pair took the home side to 174 for 3 but Lancashire claimed four wickets to reduce Derbyshire to 229 for 7 at tea, still trailing by 64 behind.
Durston and Godleman rode their luck at times against Peter Siddle but they were starting to dominate the bowling when Durston skied a drive at Simon Kerrigan and was caught at deep mid off for 85 from 102 balls.
