Gloucestershire 237 (Bracey 113, Randell 5-41) & 359-5 dec (Hammond 118, Bracey 104*) beat Derbyshire 278 (Naeem 71, Montgomery 65, Price 6-45) & 105 (Kishore 5-20) by 213 runs.

Sai Kishore bowled Gloucestershire to a 213-run victory over Derbyshire in a dramatic finale to the Rothesay County Championship Second Division match at the Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol.

Gloucestershire's overseas recruit claimed 5-20 from 18 overs as hapless Derbyshire, set 319 to win, were shot out for 105 inside 39 overs in the final session. Ed Middleton weighed in with 2-17 and Ollie Price 3-59 as spin accounted for all ten wickets. It represented a remarkable turnaround in fortunes for the home side, who had been 37-5 on the first day.
