Jimmy Anderson produced a magical spell of four for seven to guide Lancashire to a dramatic 29-run victory over Derbyshire at Old Trafford. The 41-year-old seamer, bowling from the James Anderson End, ripped through the Derbyshire batting order in his second spell, taking four wickets in 4.5 overs and effecting a run-out to seal the win.
Derbyshire had been set 138 to win, but after losing Caleb Jewell early, they were pegged back by Anderson's brilliance. Zak Chappell was run out after Anderson knocked off the bails, leaving Derbyshire all out for 108. Lancashire's Mitchell Stanley impressed with his pace, consistently hitting 90mph, while debutant Paul Coughlin contributed with six wickets, 64 runs and a catch.
Elsewhere, defending champions Nottinghamshire secured their first win of the season, beating Glamorgan by 192 runs at Trent Bridge. Hampshire's Kyle Abbott took 10 wickets in the match as Yorkshire were beaten by 214 runs at Headingley. Sussex made it two wins from two, defeating Warwickshire by five wickets at Hove, with Jack Leaning scoring 120 and Tom Price 70.
At The Oval, Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope both made half-centuries for Surrey against Leicestershire, while Ben Compton's unbeaten 114 helped Kent salvage a draw against Northamptonshire. Somerset beat Essex by ten wickets at Chelmsford, and Worcestershire defeated Middlesex by 57 runs at Lord's.
