Jason Gillespie hailed a “ruthless” performance as Yorkshire returned to the top of the LV= County Championship table with a fifth win of the season inside three days against Derbyshire at Chesterfield.

The White Rose county’s first-team coach missed the first two days following the death of his father Neil last Saturday but saw them take 15 wickets on day three to wrap up victory by an innings and 113 runs with less than three overs remaining in the day.

Gillespie confirmed he will accompany his mother Vicki back to Adelaide for the funeral at some point next week, although he is not sure exactly when, and plans to return in time for Yorkshire’s next Division One match against Warwickshire on August 2.

An excellent 141 from Wayne Madsen in the second innings looked like dragging the game into tomorrow but Ryan Sidebottom returned to take two of the last three wickets to fall to bowl Derbyshire out for 269 after they had been asked to follow on.

They had begun the day on 94-5 in their first innings in reply to 617-5 declared and were bowled out on the stroke of lunch for 235, including two wickets each for Steve Patterson, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid and three by Jack Brooks.

“It was a very good performance, there’s no doubt about that in warm conditions,” said Gillespie.

“You could tell the boys were tiring after tea there. We lost our way a little bit and Wayne Madsen counter-attacked really well. The way he played was excellent.

“I’m really pleased for all our bowlers. Everyone’s chipped in with wickets. To take 20 wickets in a day and a half on a pretty good batting surface was ruthless.”

The wickets were spread around in the second innings as well. Sidebottom and Patterson finished with three apiece, while Brooks and Plunkett took two each.

Derbyshire recovered from 38-4, 74-5 and 120-6 to frustrate Yorkshire, who tired after tea. Madsen and Tom Poynton (29) shared 111 inside 20 overs for the seventh wicket but their resistance was to no avail.

Poynton had earlier smashed 63 not out off 37 balls in Derbyshire’s first innings – taking a particular liking to Rashid, who went for 81 in 12 overs.

On another day Rashid, who kept on flighting the ball, would have got him early. Unfortunately for him, Poynton’s risky approach paid off.

Gillespie’s presence here gave everybody a lift. He also plans to attend Sunday’s must-win Friends Life t20 clash with Nottinghamshire at Headingley.

Meanwhile, Phil Jaques has been ruled out of action for four to five weeks with torn muscle under his rib cage sustained while batting.
