Anderson with the new ball was always going to be key to Lancashire's hopes and he duly delivered, removing both openers in his first three in from the Lake End at Queen's Park for the first time in his career, the 42-year-old's control and movement was too much for Mitch Wagstaff and Caleb leaving several deliveries, Wagstaff shouldered arms to one that came back and was struck in front with only two on the was similarly deceived in Anderson's next over, playing no stroke to a ball that knocked out his off the conditions, Lancashire's captain bowled a seven-over spell, his longest of the season, no doubt in the hope of removing another evergreen but 41-year-old Madsen Came did not, caught behind down the legside off Balderson to reduce Derbyshire to 35-3 but that was Lancashire's last success of the imposed himself on the bowlers and with Brooke Guest adopting a more circumspect approach, the hosts recovered well to reach 109-3 at lunch.
