There were to be no real surprises on the final day at Derby, as the home side wrapped up a worthy victory at 12.53pm. Following a delay of twenty minutes due to rain, Derbyshire embarked on their objective of making the 73 runs they needed, with Stubbings resuming on 66 and Redfern picking up where he left off on eleven.

The first boundary of the day came from the bat of Redfern, who drove Chris Jordan through extra cover in the second over. Stubbings, looking to pull, then found the boundary off a bottom edge. But not long after the pair had celebrated bringing up the fifty stand, Redfern presented Andre Nel with a simple catch at mid-wicket off the bowling of Jordan.

Two overs later Stubbings cut the 20-year-old for three and, next ball, Wavell Hinds pulled him for four. Michael Brown then chose to throw the ball to Chris Schofield. The former England leg-spinner's first over of the day did not start promisingly. Dropping a little short, he was despatched to the point boundary by Hinds. Two deliveries later, however, the West Indian was caught behind to make it 183-4 after 64 overs.

With 35 more required, Jade Dernbach entered the fray. Using his feet well, Greg Smith came down the wicket to Schofield in the 68th over and hit him for four. In the next over Dernbach nearly accounted for Stubbings, who was put down by Scott Newman at leg slip on 83. Schofield did snare the tall left-hander, though, when he was bowled attempting a paddle sweep in the 70th over.

David Pipe got of the mark by cutting Schofield off his stumps for three. Smith cover drove Dernbach through the covers to bring up the 200 for the home side and in the 74th over swept Schofield for four to leave Derbyshire needing just eleven to win.

The next over, a maiden, was bowled by Usman Afzaal, who had been brought on to improve Surrey's over-rate, but Smith gave Schofield short shrift in the 76th over, sweeping him fine for four, then cutting the ball for three. So, it was left to Derbyshire's stand-in captain to make the winning hit, which, as it turned out, was not far away from being caught on the square leg boundary by Nel.
