Nottinghamshire secured their first red-ball win since 2018 as they wrapped up a 310-run success over Derbyshire in the LV= Insurance County Championship.
England's Stuart Broad was their chief inspiration on the decisive third day at Derby, taking four for 37 as the hosts were shot out for 159 having been set an improbable target of 470.
Nottinghamshire's victory in the Group One clash might have been even more emphatic had number nine Will Aitchison not delayed them by hitting three sixes on his way to a maiden first-class 50.
