Tony Palladino and Tim Groenewald earned a place in the county’s record bookswhen they became the first Derbyshire bowlers this century to both take fivewickets in an innings.The pace pair were the first to achieve the feat since Andrew Harris and PaulAldred, also against Somerset at Derby in 1999, with Palladino taking five for97 on his return after a seven week absence with a side strain while Groenewaldhad even better figures of five for 30.Somerset were bowled out for 216 on day three where only 23.3 overs werepossible, which gave Derbyshire a lead of 50.However, Steve Kirby hit back by striking twice before bad light forced anearly finish with the home side leading by 86 runs on 36 for two.Derbyshire needed to polish off Somerset quickly to have any chance of forcinga win when the game was able to resume at 3.45pm and they struck with the fourthball of the day when Craig Meschede prodded at Groenewald and was caughtbehind.Peter Trego had been dropped on one the previous evening and he was givenanother life on 23 when he aimed a cut at Groenewald and his former Somersetteam mate Wes Durston spilled the chance diving to his right at first slip.But it did not prove costly as Trego added only five before he was bowledaiming a loose drive at Groenewald who celebrated his fifth wicket in his nextover when he trapped Steve Kirby lbw for a duck to secure a third bowlingpoint.By now, it was murky enough to need the floodlights on and Palladino completedhis five wicket haul when Jamie Overton edged to first slip. It meant Derbyshirehad a 50-run lead and 28 overs to build on it, but they lost a wicket with onlytwo on the board in their second innings.Chesney Hughes got a leading edge to his first ball from Kirby and AlfonsoThomas dived forward at mid on to take the catch, and the fast bowler had aconfident appeal for a catch behind against Wayne Madsen turned down.Billy Godleman twice drove Overton through the covers for four and Madsenwhipped Kirby past square leg for another boundary but Somerset struck again inthe ninth over.Madsen edged Kirby to third slip but Somerset were denied the chance to buildon that breakthrough when the umpires decided that even with the floodlights on,the light was not good enough for the game to continue and play was abandoned at6pm.
