Scoring card
Alex Hughes It was the main beneficiary of a rain-shortened day on Wantage Road as it headed to 74 no, moving Derbyshire to 118 by 4 responding to 255 from Northamptonshire.
With only 29 possible overs in the morning session, Hughes moved from his 38th overnight to a quarter fifty in consecutive County Championship games.
Under very gloomy skies with menacing rain, Hughes enjoyed a good run of luck with several plays and faults and an inner edge through the diaper that missed the stump of the leg. [19659003] But he took every opportunity to score and eliminate Ben Sanderson on the front and behind the point between his 10 limits and a six.
Northants hit twice in the session, with Tom Lace, for 38, and Gary Wilson, for only 3, skirting and leading Ben Curran in the point.
