The one down player Tom broke the records out with 17 wonderful boundaries contributing a total of 118 runs. No dought these were the middle order players who laid a strong base for essex. With the amazing batting by middle order Essex scored a target of 366 runs after six wickets.

Derbyshire deserves a salute for their opener and one down player. Derbyshire opened with Harry and Caleb with 18 runs partnership because of the under performance of Caleb. Derbyshire deserved to win this game as their opener hitted 20 bounadaried and the one dona player who hitted 17 boundaries while rest of the team just struggled. These two players were the main pillars behind a chase of 322 runs. If any of the player has survived and contributed some runs they wiuld have won the game but unfortunately lost by a 44 runs gap.
