Derbyshire's lower order rallies to earn a County Championship draw with Northamptonshire.
Anuj Dal blocked Northamptonshire’s path to victory as Derbyshire emerged with an unlikely draw from the County Championship Division Two match at Derby.
Zak Chappell played a big part with 72 in a stand of 108 in 32 overs with Dal and, although Rob Keogh took 5-62 with his off-spin, Derbyshire clung on to close on 261-9. Derbyshire needed a substantial partnership to have any chance of chasing the runs down but saw captain David Lloyd dismissed for 15.
That signalled an alarming decline in which four wickets fell to the spinners for only 17 runs in nine overs.
