11.58pm Yorkshire's last Championship win was on April 17, 2022. They've won their first in 17 and they've done in with composure at the last, despite Derbyshire brawling all the way, and coming back from the dead twice in one game, most notably through that stunning stand between du Plooy and Haider Ali. But while it was Dom Bess who sealed it, the main man was a familiar character for the vanquished Derbyshire. Shan Masood blazed a trail for them last summer, and now he's doing the needful for his new county.

So, here endeth an entertaining basement battle, and here endeth another random episode of County Pop-up Comms. Who knows where we will strike next...
