London, July 16: India's middle order batsman Mohammad Kaif was top scorer for Derbyshire in their tie against Worcestershire in a Frizzel county championship at Worcester here yesterday. Kaif scored 31 before he was trapped leg before by Australia's Matt Mason, who proved to be the main tormentor for Derbyshire with five wickets for 43 runs. Replying to Derbyshire's first innings score of 163, Worcestershire made 155 for six wickets at close of play on the opening day of the second division match. In another second division match, India's Yuvraj Singh failed miserably as he contributed only seven runs in Yorkshire's first innings score of 340 for six wickets in their match against Durham at Chester-le-Street yesterday.
In Leicester, India's Virender Sehwag was resting a back injury as Leicestershire put up a competitive total of 320 in their first innings and in reply Sussex made 51 for no wicket at close of play here.
