Back in the league competitions, Derbyshire lost to Warwickshire in the National League, but they got a win on the next week-end as they beat Surrey at the Oval. The following day, Lancashire beat them for the fourth time in a month, a 17-run loss which saw them knocked out of the Twenty20 Cup. Two days later, they lost a floodlit League match to Durham by six wickets, before drawing with the same team in the Championship to remain rock-bottom. Their next match was also a draw, a Championship game against Yorkshire.
