    The sun may have set on another county season at the home of cricket, but the Gloucestershire celebrations will continue long into the night and many congratulations to them on a famous victory. 

    However, there is not long to wait for our next cricket live text commentary, when England play the first Test against Pakistan in the United Arab Emirates on 13 October.

    There are Rugby World Cup and Premier League football live texts ongoing now but from us, thanks for your company. Cheerio.

    I feel very lucky and honoured to finish this way. What a way to walk out. For what it means to this group is amazing. I was on the boundary watching, usually I’m in the mix but it was a fantastic feeling to watch it.

    More from Gloucestershire assistant coach Ian Harvey: "There was talk at the start of the year, forget what happened years ago, this a big opportunity for this group of players over the next few years. They're young enough, talented enough and they have just got to believe."

    Gloucestershire assistant coach, their former all-rounder Ian Harvey: "Sanga was batting extremely well, we got lucky with his wicket and we always knew if we kept building pressure we may get a chance and one wicket may bring two. The belief was there, we never threw it away."

    Surrey captain Gareth Batty: "Disappointment, a little bit of shock, but we have to give credit to Gloucester, they fought like heck and it's a lovely send off for Jonesy.

    "We thought the pitch would do more in the first part of the game, ultimately I was wrong so I take that on the chin. I feel very sad for Jade [Dernbach, who took six wickets in the Gloucester innings, including a hat-trick], he proved he is the best at what he does in the one-day game

    "I thought it was a great game of cricket, an old school game of cricket. Today makes it a pretty strong driving force that we don't want to end the season without silverware. [Surrey lead Division Two in the Championship going into next week's final match]

    "We're developing as a club but today is a very sad day."

    I don’t know how we did it today but we squeezed and squeezed. Kumar Sangakkara and Rory Burns put on a good partnership but we put the pressure on, they lost some wickets and we were back in the game. The crowd were amazing. I’ve never played in front of such a big crowd. We started well with the ball but the [Sangakkara and Burns] partnership took it away from us. If they’d kept batting they would have won. To keep that composure when they’re on top is amazing.

  8. Man of the matchpublished at 18:22

    Gloucestershire all-rounder Jack Taylor [who took the winning catch]: "I didn't have too much time to think about it which is good but it went in nicely. We had to rev ourselves up, we were a little bit down but we knew we could take wickets. Our fans have been awesome throughout the tournament and we're so thankful for their support."

    To be honest it’s unbelievable the way we fought back after they looked like they were cruising. We knew they had a strong top four, but they have guys who are young and not experienced and we put them under pressure. We didn’t quite stand up to their bowling but it was a super effort by Geraint (Jones) and even Jack Taylor to get us back against a score we didn’t think we had a chance of defending. Kumar Sangakkara is a quality player and you always want to get him out but it’s a pleasure to watch him play. The way this team has pulled together this season shows there have been huge improvements and it’s a pleasure to be part of.

    Geraint Jones is hoisted off the field in his final game before retiring and he tells Sky Sports: "Unbelievable! at the halfway stage we were a bit nervous, we weren't sure we had enough but the one thing this team has is ultimate belief, every single one of them believed we could do it and once we started taking wickets it was ours for the taking. The reason I moved to Gloucester was for the lads and it's a great way to go out." 

  15. GLOUCESTERSHIRE WON BY SIX RUNSpublished at 18:05 British Summer Time 19 September 2015

    Glos 220 (47.4 overs) beat Surrey 214 (49.3 overs)

    One of the great turnarounds. What on earth has happened?! Batty flicked Payne away but did not get enough on it and was caught on the boundary, Taylor holding his nerve to take the catch on the mid-wicket fence to the jubilation of the Gloucester fans, basking in the sunshine and the glory of their team's remarkable success. Surrey have gone from 143-2 in the 35th over to 214 all out. Extraordinary scenes.

  16. Surrey 214-9published at 49.2 overs

    If Surrey don't lose any more wickets they could get 220 and win by virtue of losing one fewer wicket. Bowling hero Jade Dernbach is the last man, joining captain Batty who has strike as the batsmen crossed. A dot ball. Four left.

    WICKET S Curran (c Howell b Payne 37)published at 49.1 overs

    Surrey 214-9 - target 221

    Young Sam Curran has played superbly but he goes for a big thump and can only find deep mid-on.

    WICKET Burke 11 (run out)published at 49 overs

    Surrey 214-8 - target 221

    Bustling Benny Howell bowls the penultimate over and has a strong appeal for lbw against Burke, but umpire Nick Cook shakes his head and he's right again as it was heading past leg. And yet, as so often is the case in a tense finale, we have a run out. Pressure, a mis-field, confusion in mid-pitch and Burke is short of his ground seeking a single. 

  19. Surrey 210-7 (S Curran 36, Burke 10)published at 48 overs

    Target 221

    Left-armer David Payne returns to the attack and he bowls an excellent full length with a hint of reverse swing. But with third man up, James Burke squirts the final delivery between the fielders and it gets through to the boundary. So 11 needed from the final 12 deliveries.

  20. Surrey 203-7 (S Curran 34, Burke 5)published at 47 overs

    Target 221

    Left-arm spinner Tom Smith completes his allocation, 2-42 are his figures, but Sam Curran is fortunate. He's beaten in the flight, gets a thick edge, there is no slip and it runs away for four to bring up the 200. He then calmly takes a single to keep the strike. Who's going to bowl the final overs?
