CAREER-BEST bowling from Wes Durston took Derbyshire to their third LV County Championship victory in a row against Worcestershire at the 3aaa County Ground.
They bowled the Division Two leaders out for 129 in their second innings to win by 138 runs, with Durston's off-spin bringing him 5-19 in 13 overs.
Having been set 268 off a minimum of 57 overs when Derbyshire were bowled out for 296 in their second innings, Worcestershire tumbled after tea against the spinners as they lost their last seven wickets for 70.
Mark Footitt set Derbyshire on the right track when he removed Richard Oliver caught and bowled for nought for the second time in the match in the third over of the innings at 5-1 and then bowled Tom Fell for 10 with the score 17-2.
Tony Palladino, who bowled six straight maidens from the racecourse end, thought he had Daryl Mitchell caught behind from a rising delivery at that score but it was not given.
The third wicket did come in the 14th over as Alexei Kervezee was caught at square leg for 15 off Wayne White's first ball at 44-3 but Mitchell (14) and Tom Kohler-Cadmore (14) made it through to tea.
However, with the spinners straight into the action after the interval, wickets began to tumble.
Mitchell was caught at deep square leg for 15 sweeping at Wes Durston, who then had Kohler-Cadmore (29) caught behind and Joe Leach (4) caught at first slip.
When Shaaiq Choudhry (0) was caught at silly point, Durston had taken 4-9 in 22 balls and Worcestershire were floundering at 97-7.
That became 97-8 when Ben Cox (14) was caught at slip by Durston off David Wainwright but Mitchell McClenaghan and Jack Shantry held them up for 83 balls before Durston's switch of ends brought the wicket of Shantry, caught at short leg for 13 at 126-9.
McClenaghan was last man out when he was bowled by Chesney Hughes for 15.
Wayne Madsen showed the way for his side with 98, though he should have been out in the third over of the day when he was dropped at square leg on 13.
By then, Derbyshire had already lost their first wicket of the day as Chesney Hughes was surprised by a Charlie Morris ball that leapt off a length and looped to gully. He made three and that was 145-3.
Durston helped his captain get the scoreboard ticking until at attempt to hit spinner Choudhry over the top ended in a catch at mid off as he went for 12 at 198-4.
Alex Hughes was well taken by wicketkeeper Cox standing up to Shantry for three at 202-5 but Gareth Cross (21) helped Madsen see Derbyshire through to lunch only to be bowled off the second ball after the interval.
That was the first of four wickets to fall to the New Zealander McClenaghan after lunch as he finished with 5-78, with Madsen playing on two runs short of his century, having faced 135 balls and hit 11 fours and a six.
