Indians had another disappointing day in the county cricket championship as Dinesh Mongia failed with the bat while ace leg-spinner Anil Kumble struggled to leave an impression.
Mongia had a forgettable outing as the left-hander managed to score only one off 26 balls before falling to P Jones. However, his team Leicestershire gave a decent reply to Derbyshire’s first innings total of 386. With the help of top-scorer H D Ackerman’s 79, Leicestershire were 265 for 5 according to reports last came in.
