Pakistan’s Shaan Masood makes historic achievement at UK county
Shares
A career-best unbeaten double century from Derbyshire's Shan Masood link dominated the opening day of the LV=Insurance County Championship Division Two match against Sussex at Derby.
The Pakistani opener scored a brilliant 201 from 271 balls and shared a third-wicket stand of 236 with Wayne Madsen link, who was 88 not out at the close.
An injury-weakened Sussex attack failed to take a wicket after lunch as Derbyshire closed on an imposing 327 for 2.
Masood had already impressed with two half centuries in the opening match at Lord's last week when he narrowly missed out on a hundred link in the first innings.
He made no mistake this time against a largely inexperienced attack after Derbyshire won the toss and batted first on what looks to be a benign pitch.
