  2. Surrey 195-7 (S Curran 28, Burke 0)published at 46 overs

    Target 221

    These low-scoring matches are often the best they say, and we have a cracker here in the September sunshine. James Burke is away immediately and the requirement is 27 from 25 balls.

    WICKET T Curran (lbw b Taylor 1)published at 45.2 overs

    Surrey 192-6 - target 221

    It won't be the Curran brothers leading Surrey home. Not a great decision by umpire Rob Bailey. Not the best of shots either, the reverse sweep never looks good when it doesn't come off. It was turning down the leg side but Jack Taylor is not concerned by that, he has three wickets.

  4. Surrey 191-6 (S Curran 27, T Curran 0)published at 45 overs

    Target 221

    It's down to the Curran brothers as Tom joins Sam at the crease with 30 needed from 32. He has made 44 in this event this season and has the top knot covered by a brown Surrey lid. Some confusion in mid-pitch but the elder brother sends his younger sibling back and there is no damage.

  5. wicket

    WICKET Mahmood (st Roderick b Smith 5)published at 44.4 overs

    Surrey 191-6 - target 221

    Imperious from young Sam Curran, skipping down the track to loft Smith handsomely for four. But the inexperience comes from the 40-year-old, Azhar Mahmood with a rush of blood, nowhere near it and he's gone!

  7. Surrey 184-4 (S Curran 22, Mahmood 5)published at 44 overs

    Target 221

    Benny Howell bustles in again, keeper up to the stumps. Young Sam Curran collects his third boundary, pulling a long hop through mid-wicket. Azhar Mahmood is persuaded to run two and the old boy makes it easily thanks to a mis-field, with 12 off the over.

  9. Surrey 174-4 (S Curran 15, Mahmood 3)published at 43 overs

    Target 221

    Just two singles from the Smith over. Surrey remain confident that their young and old partnership - 23 years between them - will see them home. We had that approach in our Eastergate Second XI circa 1989 but that was mainly because there weren't many players. The requirement is now 47 from 42.

    With the match seemingly drifting towards a Surrey win, the Gloucestershire fans have found their voices as their team make strides towards making a game of this final. Choruses of 'Gloucestershire la la la' are doing the rounds as the nervous Surrey fans applaud every run. It's suddenly got very tense on a breezy London evening.

    Target 221

    James Fuller completes his allocation and Mahmood has a wild yahoo at a wide one but makes no contact. He then remembers he is the senior partner with a 17-year-old at the other end and pushes a circumspect single. 

    Flamboyant back-foot stroke from young Sam Curran and it's a first boundary for five overs, 49 needed from 48 balls.

  13. Surrey 166-5 (S Curran 10, Mahmood 1)published at 41 overs

    Target 221

    Azhar Mahmood is the new man, 40 years young and playing his 319th List A match. The fired up Glos fielders appeal for lbw for a forward defensive shot but umpire Nick Cook has none of it. Azhar is off the mark with a confident push into the covers.

    Surrey are about to throw this away. They're inching themselves closer to trouble. It's a good low catch, Gary Wilson's come down the wicket and tried to work against the spin. There's still a lot of work to do but the wicket's getting slower.

    Surrey are doing their best to mess this up. It's a full toss, a low catch and it almost escapes the grasp of Glos skipper Michael Klinger, but he hangs on at short mid-wicket.

  16. Surrey 164-4 (Wilson 8, S Curran 9)published at 40 overs

    Target 221

    Benny Howell is back in the attack, recovered from his earlier injury niggle, with five overs for 16. Wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick is full of chirrup and he is delighted with an over that concedes just a single. The last 10 overs then and 57 needed. 

  17. Surrey 163-4 (Wilson 8, S Curran 8)published at 39 overs

    Target 221

    Sam Curran, reminiscent of a young Leonardo di Caprio - if Di Caprio were wearing a Surrey helmet - looks perfectly relaxed for the big occasion, playing nice and straight and keeping the singles coming off left-arm spinner Tom Smith.

  19. Surrey 159-4 (Wilson 6, S Curran 6)published at 38 overs

    Target 221

    Wilson restores order with a clip into the leg side - not a million miles from the fielder - but good enough for three. A hesistant prod from young Curran and it fizzes past the edge, but he gets off strike with a Stuart Broad-style push off the back foot into the off side for a single
