Summary

  • Yorkshire make 263-9 from their 50 overs

  • Gloucestershire reach target with three overs to spare

  • Glos captain Michael Klinger hits unbeaten 137

  • Surrey play Notts in Monday's semi-final

  1. Yorkshire 136-2 (Lyth 88, Bairstow 1)published at 25 overs

    Jonny Bairstow attempts a reverse sweep but gets the timing badly wrong and is fortunate to make some contact to avert the possibility of an lbw shout. 

    Perhaps a little early in his innings to be trying that stroke, but Bairstow isn't a player lacking in confidence - and no wonder, given how many runs he's scored in county cricket this season.

  2. 6 runs

    Yorkshire 135-2 (Lyth 87, Bairstow 1)published at 24.1 overs

    Adam Lyth has had enough of this and deposits Jack Taylor's opening delivery into the crowd at deep mid-wicket for the first six of the day. Shot, sir.

    Jack Leaning has played the penalty for trying to play across the line. Bairstow has been in great form this season and this is a key partnership for Yorkshire.

  4. Yorkshire 129-2 (Lyth 81, Bairstow 1)published at 24 overs

    Jonny Bairstow is away with a single to mid-wicket and Adam Lyth picks up one to end the over, but that's another good one for Gloucestershire - and for Howell, who now has 2-23.

    Jack Leaning plays around a straight ball from Benny Howell and that's a second scalp for the Gloucestershire seamer. Suddenly, Yorkshire are losing a bit of zip. What can England's Jonny Bairstow do about it?

  6. Yorkshire 126-1 (Lyth 79, Leaning 8)published at 23 overs

    Good running by Adam Lyth as he drives out to extra cover after advancing down the pitch and picks up a second as the throw comes in from the deep. Jack Taylor's off-spin is certainly giving him something to think about, though, and is beaten in the flight by the final ball which he manages to chop for a single.

  7. Yorkshire 120-1 (Lyth 74, Leaning 7)published at 22 overs

    Gloucestershire managing to exert a bit of restraint on the scoring rate here. Suddenly, the fours aren't flowing for Adam Lyth. Well bowled Benny Howell as just three come from that over.

  8. Yorkshire 117-1 (Lyth 73, Leaning 5)published at 21 overs

    My guess is Yorkshire will only be satisfied with something in excess of 270, but for once they are becalmed as Jack Taylor only gives two runs away from his latest over of off-spin - 5-0-23-0 so far from the Banbury-born 23-year-old.

    Yorkshire may be on their way towards a total of more than 300. Would that be enough to see them over the line and into the final at Lord's?

  10. Yorkshire 115-1 (Lyth 72, Leaning 4)published at 20 overs

    Jack Leaning, understandably, wants to have a look at the bowling, but clips the final delivery of Benny Howell's latest over through mid-wicket for two. There is very little in the pitch for the Gloucestershire attack, so what sort of total will Yorkshire be looking for? 

  11. Yorkshire 112-1 (Lyth 71, Leaning 2)published at 19 overs

    Gareth Roderick isn't having a great time of it behind the stumps. Jack Taylor turns an off-break between bat and pad as new batsman Jack Leaning props forward, but Roderick fails to lay a glove on it, conceding four byes for the second time.

    There is another mis-field in the deep as Lyth drives past mid-off, but this time Gloucestershire get away with just a single.

    Finally, the shackles are broken by Alex Lees. A slower ball by Benny Howell and Lees waits for it before lofting it effortlessly down to long off for his first boundary, taking his side's total into three figures.

    But that is Lees' final scoring stroke as he gives a straightforward return catch to the bowler. Finally, Gloucestershire have held onto one. 

    Jack Leaning is the new batsman and is immediately off the mark with a single to mid-on.

    As Yorkshire look to build a very healthy total, former England captain and proud Yorkshireman Michael Vaughan has some insight for us.

    Thanks, Michael.

  14. Yorkshire 99-0 (Lyth 68, Lees 17)published at 17 overs

    It really is proving a struggle for Alex Lees. Two dropped catches, and still no boundary from the Yorkshire captain. A tidy over by spinner Jack Taylor, just five runs from it. 

  15. dropped catch

    Yorkshire 94-0 (Lyth 67, Lees 13)published at 16 overs

    A delightful late dab brings Adam Lyth another boundary, but then another chance goes begging for Gloucestershire as Alex Lees sweeps and Liam Norwell puts down a tough chance to his left at short fine leg.

  16. Yorkshire 88-0 (Lyth 62, Lees 12)published at 15 overs

    Adam Lyth misses with an ugly smear across the line to Jack Taylor's opening delivery, but the ball runs away for four through wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick's legs. Taylor is shown a little more respect for the remainder of the over, with just ones and twos added to the score.

  17. Yorkshire 79-0 (Lyth 58, Lees 11)published at 14 overs

    It's a double change by Gloucestershire as Benny Howell becomes the fifth bowler called on by skipper Michael Klinger. 

    He has a slingy sort of action which probably wouldn't win any plaudits from cricket aesthetes, but it's a decent start by the medium-pacer, with just four from the over. 

  18. Yorkshire 75-0 (Lyth 56, Lees 10)published at 13 overs

    Maybe a touch of spin will give Yorkshire something to think about. Jack Taylor is handed the ball, but the first time he strays in line and Adam Lyth rocks onto the back foot and cuts for four behind point.

    It has been a super innings. Adam Lyth has put the bad balls away easily, scampered through for the singles and put Yorkshire in a very good position.

    And there's Adam Lyth's half century with a pull for two from a short delivery by David Payne. It's taken him only 41 balls. Gloucestershire need to get rid of him in the very near future or he could be the man to see Yorkshire to a big total.
