Derbyshire Falcons beat Bedfordshire at Lancot Park in Dunstable by 75 runs in a T20 friendly earlier today ahead of Sunday’s huge Vitality Blast North Group game away at Notts Outlaws.

The hosts won the toss and elected to bowl first. Interestingly, there was a change to the Falcons starting line-up that has competed in all five of their games so far in the Vitality Blast, which was the arrival of Rory Haydon to come in for Akif Javed. From their 20 overs, Derbyshire reached 205-7 thanks in main to another scintillating performance from in-form Martin Andersson. The 29 year-old all-rounder fired a rapid knock of 74 from 30 deliveries, before being retired out and called back to the pavilion to give more batters some time at the crease.
