Derbyshire set up East Midlands derby

Derbyshire set up an East Midland's derby in the quarter-finals of the Royal London Cup.

Their victory over Gloucestershire saw them sneak into the top four of Group A and they will now face their nearest rivals at Trent Bridge on Tuesday.

Derbyshire faced a must-win final group match and comfortably saw off Gloucestershire to qualify for the knockout stages and bring some much-needed goodwill to an otherwise difficult season.

Gloucestershire's defeat saw them sacrifice the chance of a home tie but they had already qualified for the quarter-finals and will now play Kent at Canterbury.

Yorkshire were also easy winners on the final night of qualifying. Their comfortable victory over Hampshire saw them top Group A and earned them a home quarter-final against Durham on Thursday.

The final tie sees Essex play Warwickshire at Chelsmford in a repeat of the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-final, where Essex will be out for revenge.
