Veteran Indian leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal took five for 45 for Northamptonshire against Derbyshire in an English County Championship Division Two match. The Indian white-ball specialist also completed a personal milestone of 100 first-class wickets during the match, courtesy of his third five-wicket haul in first-class cricket. The English summer has been a profitable one so far for the wiry leg-spinner, who also took a five-wicket haul – 5/14 – against Kent in the One Day Cup last month. In the ongoing match, Northants batted first and scored 219 in the first innings with Saif Zib scoring 90. In reply, Chahal’s 5/45 in 16.3 overs along with Rob Keogh’s 3/65 sent Derbyshire packing for 165 in 61.3 overs.
Chahal's victims were Wayne Madsen, Aneurin Donald, Zak Chappell, Alex Thomson and Jack Morley.
Chahal's teammate Prithvi Shaw had another forgettable performance with the red ball, with contributions of 4 and 2 in both innings. Shaw has also failed to surpass 50 in his previous three first-class innings.
