County Championship D2, Derby, day two (close): Derbyshire 500-9 v Gloucestershire 164-5Derbyshire's seamers left the visitors struggling to avoid the follow-on on a frantic second day in Derby.
Resuming on 313-5, the hosts' lower order took the game away from Glos, Ant Botha's 98 and James Pipe's 53 helping them to 500-9d before tea.
And Tom Lungley took over with the ball, taking three wickets for five runs in 23 balls in a superb spell.
Glos captain Alex Gidman was unbeaten on 42 at stumps but, at 164-5, his side are 187 runs off the follow-on target.
There was little to cheer for the visitors though some impressive spin bowling by Vikram Banerjee saw him finish with a creditable 4-103 off 37 overs.
Botha could have gone for 22 but Stephen Adshead, usually a wicket-keeper but playing only as a batsman in this match, put him down at square leg off Gidman's bowling.
However, Botha's century was not to be as he was run out on 98 by a direct hit from backward point.
Gidman, who scored two centuries in his last match, played through the pain to see his side to stumps, needing treatment in the middle at one point for a stiff back.
