Sussex completed a comfortable nine-wicket victory over Derbyshire on the final morning of their County Championship clash at Derby.
Derby resumed their second innings on 189-7 and it took Sussex less than eight overs to bowl them out for 219 - a lead of just 42.
Sussex lost Chris Nash for a golden duck in reply but Luke Wells and Mike Yardy steered them to a maximum point win inside six overs.
James Anyon made the initial breakthrough in the morning to remove Richard Johnson for 16 as he finished with figures of 3-46.
Steve Magoffin then picked up the wickets of Tim Groenewald and Mark Footitt to claim 4-44.
Nash was caught behind off Groenewald but Wells made 23 not out off just 18 balls and Yardy 18 off 17 as Sussex cruised home before lunch.
