Derbyshire v Northamptonshire - match abandoned without a ball being bowled Derbyshire suffered their first complete wash-out in the County Championship in 35 years after no play was possible for the third day running against Northamptonshire at Chesterfield.Play was abandoned after umpires Neil Mallender and Ian Blackwell decided the bowlers run-ups were still unsafe and the match was officially called off in mid-afternoon following an inspection by umpires, captain and coaches.Although no rain has fallen during the hours of play in recent days, the Queens Park ground is still saturated from heavy rainfall through June.Northamptonshire captain Alex Wakely said: Its one of the most bizarre games of cricket Ive ever been involved in.Its a great ground and great place to play cricket but unfortunately the weather had taken its toll from the previous week with the heavy rain completely saturating the run-ups and theyre still unstable.I think if you bowled on them for four or five overs you would be churning up mud. We got bowlers to run in but they didnt feel confident and with our injury issues we had to be pretty careful.But it wasnt our decision, the umpires deemed it unfit and although its frustrating, theres nothing we can do about it.The washout is a major setback for the Chesterfield festival, which has also lost the chance to host Sundays NatWest T20 Blast fixture against Yorkshire after the club made the decision to shift the fixture to Derby.Chief Executive, Simon Storey said: Chesterfield is a special venue and everyone puts a huge amount of time, planning and preparation into delivering a successful festival each year.Unfortunately, following the recent bad weather over the last few weeks, the outfield has taken on a huge amount of water and is still saturated despite the recent sunshine. In the interest of player safety, no play has been possible.Its clearly very disappointing that the weather has beaten us this year but we remain committed to bringing county cricket to Queens Park.The Festival is so much more than just cricket and helps put Chesterfield on the map. Since county cricket returned to Chesterfield in 2006, we have been able to build strong partnerships with Chesterfield Cricket Club and Chesterfield Borough Council. Custom Twins Jersey China .

SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Fernando Alonso will start the Belgian Grand Prix behind Lewis Hamilton at the back of the grid after a qualifying engine failure forced Honda into another engine change.Alonso stopped on track having failed to complete a lap in Q1, his second failure of the weekend with Hondas upgraded power unit. His first came after a water leak on the MGU-H in FP1, which led to a new engine and grid penalty ahead of second practice, before an anomaly was detected on Saturday morning in FP3. Despite that anomaly, Honda felt Alonso would be fine to compete in qualifying -- something F1 chief Yusuke Hasegawa admits was a mistake.This morning we saw some low oil pressure, so we had to stop the session, Hasegawa said. We checked the data, and we adjusted the oil pressure. We thought we could do that, and take a risk to join qualifying. Actually my judgement was a mistake and it was not good, so we have to change the engine for tomorrow.Despite the succession of power unit failuress with its upgrade, which Honda spent seven development tokens on, Hasegawa does not think there is a deeper problem with the manufacturers new power unit.ddddddddddddSo far we believe it is a coincidence and not related to the new-specification update engine. But we have to be mindful that we have not had enough time to check the engine.Alonso will now get another penalty ahead of the grand prix, which comes on top of the 35-place penalty he had already incurred with the initial change. If Honda changes all six components he will be left with a 70-place grid penalty -- five more than Lewis Hamilton has accumulated this weekend after several changes by Mercedes. However, Alonso was already due to start from the back of the grid after he failed to set a time in Q1 and was reliant on the stewards giving him permission to race, which the duly did on Saturday evening.
