Captains for this particular game in the absence of Wayne Madsen and Andrew Hall, Wes Durston and Alex Wakeley are all smiles before the start of the final CB40 game of the season. The two had been in opposition for 4 days during the previous week in the Championship fixture at Northampton

Derbyshire's bowlers were probably sick of facing Rob Newton after the Northants batsman scored a century in each innings of their Championship game which ended on Friday. Resting all the front line bowlers from that game meant an opportunity for Ali Evans who secured his first List A wicket for Derbyshire when he enticed Newton to steer this delivery into the hands of Usman Khawaja

Kyle Coetzer, top scorer with 68 for Northants, edges this delivery from Chesney Hughes into the safe hands of Chris Durham

Northants' O'Brien drives this Burgoyne delivery back to the bowler and is caught and bowled for just 3. Peter Burgoyne again impressed taking 3-31 from 7 overs

David Sales skies this Burgoyne delivery towards Durston

Keogh is clean bowled to give Ali Evans his 2nd wicket. Evans bowled impressively, taking 2-34 overs from 7 overs

In keeping with the dismal 2012 summer, rain arrived during the tea interval and persisted sufficiently to ensure the game had to be abandoned before Derbyshire could begin their reply. This is the view of the ground from the pavilion - one which members have grown used to during the course of this season

Matt Higginbottom made his List A debut for Derbyshire on Monday against Northants. A visitor to the ground for the game was the Mayor of Derby, Councillor Lisa Higginbottom...no relation...the two met up in the pavilion when rain curtailed the game
