County Championship: Glos hold off Derbyshire bowling attack to end on win

Benny Howell's half-century helped Gloucestershire reach their 179-run target with two wickets to spare, despite a brave effort by Derbyshire.

Glos had two days to nurdle their way to victory, but lost George Drissell for 16 runs, 10 overs in on 54-3.

Miles Hammond followed on 95-4, but Howell and Ben Charlesworth put on 47 runs to steady the ship.

Jack Taylor's eighth-wicket exit with 10 required was too little too late for the hosts, as Gloucestershire held on.

Derbyshire bowler Lockie Ferguson did his best to unseat the tail, finishing with 4-56.
