Gloucestershire 62-5 v Derbyshire.
Gloucestershire’s decision to bat first backfired as Derbyshire assumed the upper hand on the opening day of the Rothesay County Championship Division Two game at the Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol.
On a day when 65 overs were lost to rain, bottom-of-the-table Gloucestershire struggled to 62-5 after winning the toss.
Frontline seamers Brett Randell and Ben Aitchison took 2-11 and 1-23 respectively, while Shoaib Bashir finished with 2-14 before rain moved back in to bring a premature close to proceedings.
