Scorecard
Scorecard
Mohammed Shami didn't bowl, Ishant Sharma bowled no-balls, and three batsmen who have not been finding a place in the Derbyshire first XI - one who is yet to make his first-class debut - scored fifties on the first day of India's second and last tour game before the Test series begins.
Shami sat out on the first day with a mild strain to his left calf. Ishant officially overstepped nine times in 12 overs, but there were quite a few deliveries that might have been reviewed if they had taken a wicket in a Test. Wes Durston scored a 90-ball 95 to liven up an otherwise dull day, Harvey Hosein improved massively on his previous best of 16 in 10 matches for Derbyshire 2nd XI with a stroke-filled unbeaten 53 off 89 balls, and the left-hand pair of Ben Slater and Billy Godleman chipped in with patient half-centuries to take Derbyshire to 326 for 5 at stumps. In two bowling days in their warm-up games, the Indians have conceded 675 for 10 wickets in 152 overs.
