DEBUTANT Matthew Fisher sparkled under the new Headingley floodlights with five wickets to fire Yorkshire to an opening NatWest T20 Blast seven-wicket win over Derbyshire.

The 17-year-old fast bowler broke off from A-Level exams to became only the county's third man to take a five-for in this format alongside Rich Pyrah and Jack Brooks.

Fisher returned 5-22 from 3.2 overs to help skittle the Falcons for just 128 in front of a 5,953 crowd after they had been well placed at 66-1 in the ninth over having been invited to bat.

He and Pyrah equally shared four of five wickets to fall for 15 runs in 25 balls as the visitors slumped between the ninth and 13th overs of an innings which saw South African Test captain Hashim Amla top-score with 29.

Yorkshire lost Andrew Hodd to a first-ball duck two deliveries into their chase but their win was never threatened as third-wicket pair Andrew Gale and Jonny Bairstow shared 69 inside nine overs to advance from 31-2 in the fifth.

Gale hit 41 off 36 balls and Bairstow 40 not out off 35 to secure a win with 20 balls left.

Fisher made his one-day bow aged 15 in 2013 before debuting in the County Championship against Warwickshire last month, although he is not being considered for four-day cricket at present due to exams.

Two of his wickets were caught and bowled, while Pyrah's four-over spell of 2-13 was excellent with opener Amla one of them – caught at cover by Gale.

Fisher struck with his second ball in the ninth over to get Chesney Hughes caught at point, before trapping Shiv Thakor lbw in his second over.

He returned inside the last four overs of the innings to get Alex Hughes caught and bowled and Tom Poynton caught behind in the 17th before polishing things off by getting Ben Cotton caught and bowled.
