Lancashire, on the other hand, must do without Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt and Luke Wood. More fundamentally, though, Derbyshire lost because Lancashire has always ensured they had a batter at the wicket capable of wreaking gory havoc. If it wasn't Keaton Jennings, it was Salt; if not Salt, then Livingstone and if not Livingstone, then Steven Croft. Having won the toss, Dane Vilas loosed his top order on Derbyshire's bowlers and the ball went everywhere. The powerplay yielded 71 runs, although 18 of those had been scored by Livingstone, whose arrival merely jacked up the chaos.
