IT wasn’t a morning for slip catching.

There were echoes of winter in the chill April air and hand-warmers, not shades, were a fielder’s best friend. Not that the heat pads did Derbyshire much good. As spectators shivered in the Headingley stands, wrapped up in coats and cradling flasks, Aneurin Donald, Wayne Madsen and Harry Came each dropped a slip chance in the opening hour, setting the tone for a good Yorkshire day.

As such chances go, it was one that a wicketkeeper would expect to grasp, and no one was more relieved than Guest when he then pouched a regulation chance when Lyth edged behind a drive off Zak Chappell. Moments earlier, when he needed only four runs to reach what would have been a 35th first-class century and a third in the first four games this season, Lyth had been denied a boundary by an athletic piece of fielding.
