Marty writes:  Ottis Gibson created history when he took 10 wickets in an innings in an English county championship match on Sunday.

Playing for Durham, Gibson achieved the landmark by bowling out Hampshire for 115 in their first innings, finishing with figures of 10-47 off 17.3 overs.

The 38-year-old becomes the 79th bowler in first-class cricket history to achieve the feat, and is the first to take all wickets in an innings since Debasish Mohanty in 2000-01.
