Derbyshire sign seamer who made first-class history with five wickets in five balls

Derbyshire have signed New Zealand seamer Brett Randell, 31, for the rest of the County Championship season. In March, playing for Central Stags in the Plunket Shield, Randell became the first bowler in 254 years of first-class cricket to take five wickets in five consecutive balls. He replaces Pakistan's Muhammad Abbas, who is on international duty. Derbyshire sit fifth in Division Two with six games left.
