North Group: Derby Derbyshire v Leicestershire (7pm);
Riverside Durham v Worcestershire (6.30pm)
South Group: The Oval Surrey v Sussex (6.30pm)Kepa Arrizabalaga with the fi rst clear
chance of the evening and, early on,
Klopp must have been encouraged
by Oxlade-Chamberlain’s determina-
tion to make a favourable impression.
Adrián, deputising for the injured Alis-
son in Liverpool’s goal, was certainly
kept busier than might have been
anticipated. Giroud, in particular,
looked as though he wanted to justify
his selection, having been left out of
Chelsea’s starting XI at the weekend.
Kanté’s performance squashed any
suggestion that he might have fi tness
issues and, though many observers
prefer the Frenchman to play in the
defensive midfi eld role, he showed
here why Lampard, like Maurizio Sarri
before him, is willing to play him in a
more advanced position.
Liverpool had to improve in the
second half and, within three min-
utes, they had found an equaliser.
Salah’s cross from the right struck
Mateo Kovacic on the back and that
left Firmino in a chase with Kepa,
rushing from his goal-line, to reach
the bouncing ball fi rst. Firmino got
there a split-second earlier than the
goalkeeper, touching the ball to hisright. Kepa was now stranded and
Mané, following up, turned his shot
into an exposed net.
After that, it was diffi cult to choose
which team were the more likely win-
ner. Liverpool looked more dangerous
with their usual front three in their
normal positions but Chelsea contin-
ued to move the ball purposefully.
Mason Mount, one of their substi-
tutes, thought he had conjured up
a late winner with an elegant left-
footed shot but had strayed off side
in the build-up. Kepa’s double save
must count as one of his fi nest pieces
of goalkeeping since joining Chelsea
but it was Lampard’s team that looked
the more dangerous approaching the
90-minute mark.Number of goals
