Nottinghamshire’s seamers shared the scalps on a rain-affected first day of their Second XI Championship encounter with Derbyshire at the Incora County Ground.
Peter Trego, Tom Barber and Zak Chappell took a wicket apiece as Derbyshire reached stumps on 176/3, having been inserted by their opponents.
Tom Wood, who opened the batting for the hosts in their recent County Championship defeat to Notts, was first to fall as Trego found an impeccable line and length in his first spell.
Newby and Benjamin went on to compile a 70-run stand for the second wicket before the latter was removed, offering no shot to a Tom Barber delivery that arrowed onto the right-hander’s pads.
And Barber also triggered the end of Newby’s innings, hitting the southpaw on the hand as he attempted to fend off the paceman.
Newby’s retirement on 53 brought Mattie McKiernan to the crease, with the right-hander compiling a brisk 38 before chopping Zak Chappell onto his stumps.
That left Oskar Kolk and Nils Priestly to negotiate the remainder of a day which was interrupted no fewer than four times by rain or bad light.
