Leicestershire finished on 264-8 after their season-ending County Championship clash with neighbours Derbyshire at last saw some action after two days lost to the weather.<\/p>\n
With Derbyshire’s 17th Championship wooden spoon confirmed by Glamorgan’s victory over Gloucestershire, this match has little at stake beyond local pride, although Leicestershire could overtake Northamptonshire to finish fourth in Division Two.<\/p>\n
Opener Sol Budinger will remember it at least for a career-best 87 and there was was a half-century too for Liam Trevaskis.<\/p>\n
Derbyshire’s spinners prospered in the final session of an 80-over day as Mitch Wagstaff finished with 2-24 with skipper David Lloyd taking three wickets.<\/p>\n
Leicestershire were 54 without loss at the first interval while Budinger reached 51 from 40 deliveries and went on to pass his previous first-class best of 72 with his 14th boundary.<\/p>\n
A maiden century looked his for the taking until, 13 runs away from it, he shaped to drive the left-arm seamer Luis Reece but somehow managed to spoon the ball into the hands of the bowler.<\/p>\n
Reece picked up his second wicket in the same spell when Ian Holland cut straight to the man at backward point for 44.<\/p>\n
Lewis Hill (20) was adjudged leg before to Zak Chappell just before tea while Harry Swindells helped Trevaskis take the total beyond 200 before departing for 18.<\/p>\n
Trevaskis completed his second half-century of the season before being bowled by Lloyd for 57, while Ben Mike and Ben Green were both caught behind and Tom Scriven was leg before sweeping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
