Last week in Dublin who made his full England debut, 25-year-old, a lead off for two to 324 without loss to 76 for 6 to 101 that took Northants a counter with Josh Cobb , only 19 behind Derbyshire, beginning 95.
Among the visitors to the house for lunch with a score of 202, 163 from 29 overs, Derbyshire against Northants record seventh-wicket 103-run-a-ball with the back of Cobb (95, 112 balls) and a lot Willey tea and looked set for big gains.
Derbyshire Northants revival was in contrast to the recovery of the day in many ways, the afternoon sunlight tumbling dominated the first wicket with opener, first reflect.
Northants top order against a disciplined seam bowling after lunch when the tail broke off the bat could have predicted storm. Matt Critchley fall on a day when the injured captain Alex Wakely unable to bat in hand, Rob Keogh 194 follow-on target with less than 93 Tom Taylor became the third victim, it looked bleak for Northants.
18-year-old record on Sunday following the second century, but it tasted Critchley's legspin attack targeting both Derbyshire openers Cobb and Willey with the sensational charge in the face wilted.
Willey drove his first five overs when coming from the 21 to 45 and for two of his five sixes but pulled like Miss Wakely, Willey 19 when Critchley's failure to hold a return catch proved costly as the seventh wicket pair stepped hard on the accelerator.
He chased a wide one by Shiv Thakor, even when he ducked into a short ball from Mark Footitt a ringing blow to the helmet of the Cobb ,, Northants their first century looked certain to celebrate.
She took a deep mid-off in the hands of the Thakor, Ben Slater and his team's position Chesney Hughes's elite performance director Graeme Welch Derbyshire satisfied to leave the day played out in a more serious fashion.
"I said one day, it will be taken forward if we are close to a hundred runs," he said. "Wicket deteriorating and going up and down with one or two balls, batting at where we are today and we would not like to be happy."
Northants head coach David Ripley Wakely and Cobb's the encouraging news. "Alex has been for an x-ray on his hand and then with another day of snow is expected to show a break and we can use the last day. Josh seemed OK but have not rested
