Despite the loss of captain Aneurin Donald, caught behind attacking at Anderson, Derbyshire made a fast start.<\/p>\n
Donald had hit a couple of leg-side sixes off quick Mitch Stanley before Andersson took successive boundaries off Hartley’s spin as the score advanced to 44-1 after four overs.<\/p>\n
The excellent Anderson struck again for Lightning when Yousaf Bin Naeem was caught at deep backward square-leg, before the spin of Livingstone, Shadab Khan and Hartley really put the squeeze on the Falcons.<\/p>\n
Shadab’s leg-spin had a sweeping Wayne Madsen lbw with the googly – at 66-3 in the eighth over – before Livingstone and Hartley both struck twice in an over as the Falcons slipped to 121-7 after 16 overs.<\/p>\n
In all, they lost six wickets in the last six overs on a surface which gripped. Anderson finished with 2-21 from his four overs and Livingstone 2-24 from his four.<\/p>\n
Keaton Jennings dragged early sixes over deep midwicket off Matt Montgomery and Akif Javed before the former gained revenge by bowling the Lancashire captain for 23 as the score fell to 35-1 in the fifth over.<\/p>\n
Like Jennings, fellow opener Michael Jones failed to get out of the twenties and was bowled on 28 by the pace of Pakistani left-armer Akif with the score on 61 in the ninth over.<\/p>\n
But Livingstone opened his shoulders shortly afterwards to launch former county colleague Jack Morley over long-on for six and move into double figures.<\/p>\n
Superb Sufyan created some doubt when he had Ben McDermott caught at deep midwicket and Joe Moores caught behind next ball – 80-4 after 13 overs.<\/p>\n
And even more so when he had Livingstone caught at deep midwicket for 31 at 100-5, the ball after being hit for six in the 15th.<\/p>\n
The target later became 30 off two overs.<\/p>\n
Hurst and Jack Blatherwick hit a six apiece as 17 came off Akif in the penultimate over before Hurst hit two fours over the off-side to leave one needed off the last ball, only to be bowled by a brilliantly executed delivery from Potts.<\/p>\n
