Rehan Ahmed continues to defend his England chances ahead of the Ashes, taking 13 wickets and scoring a century in the same County Championship match.
The leg-spinning all-rounder took figures of 6-51 and 7-93 and scored 115 in his first innings to help Division Two top-placed Leicestershire beat Derbyshire by 189 runs.
Rehane, 20, became the fourth England player this century to complete the 10-wicket double and 100-run mark in a first-class game, before teammate Tom Hartley achieved the feat for Lancashire against Gloucestershire.

Pictured: Rehan played for England in five Test matches, six One-Day Internationals and 10 T20 Internationals.
Another spin bowler Liam Dawson, who returned to the England Test squad after an eight-year absence due to a finger injury to Shoaib Bashir, achieved the feat twice for Hampshire, first against Middlesex in 2023 and then against Lancashire last summer.
The 35-year-old's return has strengthened England's batting credentials – he has 18 first-class hundreds and more than 370 wickets to his name – while he is also a stronger fielder than Bashir.
Rehane is of the same generation, although obviously has far less experience than Dawson, having played just 35 first-class games, five of which were Tests.
The Leicestershire man has made significant progress since his promotion this term, scoring four hundreds and a fifty in nine games to take his total to 641 runs at an average of 45.78.
Pictured: Rehan is the youngest player to play for England in all three formats of international cricket.
With the ball he took 20 wickets at 15.15.
In December 2022, at the age of 18, Rehane became the youngest male debutant to take five wickets in Test cricket in Pakistan.
He became England's youngest player in all three formats and, in addition to five Test matches, also featured in six One-Day Internationals and 10 T20 Internationals.
