Derbyshire's bowlers hit back after Gloucestershire had bowled them out for just 188 on day one of the Championship clash at Derby on Wednesday.

David Brown took a career-best 5-38 to apparently justify skipper Jon Lewis's decision to field first, only for Graham Wagg to take 4-5 in 19 balls.

That inspired burst left the visitors on 98-6 on a day dominated by the ball.

An ECB pitch liaison officer said the pitch was good, a view supported by Steve Stubbings' 62 not out.

The Derbyshire batsman scored only his second half-century of the season in his first game for two months and shared stands of 49 with Wagg and 41 for the last wicket with Charl Langeveldt.
