Indian left-arm spinner Sai Kishore starred with the ball as Gloucestershire defeated Derbyshire by 213 runs in the County Championship Division Two match at the Seat Unique Stadium in Bristol. Sai Kishore returned figures of 5-20 from 18 overs as Derbyshire, chasing 319, were bowled out for 105 inside 39 overs during the final session of the match. The victory completed a turnaround for Gloucestershire, who had been reduced to 37-5 on the opening day of the match. Bracey became the first Gloucestershire batter to score two centuries in the same first-class match since Alex Gidman achieved the feat at Archdeacon Meadow, Gloucester, in 2007. Bracey reached his second half-century of the match from 75 balls, while Hammond completed his third first-class century of the season and the eighth of his career from 182 deliveries. Bracey then completed his fifth century of the season from 143 balls, hitting seven fours and two sixes before Gloucestershire declared at 359-5. He also became the first Gloucestershire wicketkeeper to score two centuries in a match since Harry Smith in 1919.
The missed opportunities proved costly as Hammond and Bracey took control.
Earlier, Gloucestershire declared their second innings at 359-5. Miles Hammond scored 118, while James Bracey remained unbeaten on 104. The pair added 165 runs for the fourth wicket.
