Derbyshire amend timings

Hours of play have been changed to cope with the setting sun at Derbyshire

Derbyshire have changed the hours of play for their forthcoming Friends Provident Trophy matches.

The game against Lancashire on May 22 will begin at 1.30pm – an hour earlier than the scheduled time – to allow for an extra hour to be sanctioned in the case of sun stopping play.

The floodlit encounter is scheduled to finish at 9.15pm, but this could be extended to 10.15pm if the sun means play has to be stopped.

An extra hour has also been allocated for the match against Yorkshire on May 25, with the start time being moved forward to 11am.

The finish could be extended from 6.45pm to 7.45pm - only if the sun proves a distraction.
