Gloucestershire 220, Surrey 214
Retiring Geraint Jones makes 50 for Glos
Surrey's Dernbach (6-35) takes hat-trick
Young Sam Curran is the new man, the 17-year-old did not have his best day with the ball and now he is going to have to knock a few runs off with his left-handed batting. He has a dart at his second ball and it skews off the edge to the boundary.

Quote MessageRory Burns was just stuck in the middle of no man's land and it's another fairly bizarre dismissal. Some more nip and tuck to come here, you feel.
Surrey 148-4 (Wilson 1) - target 221
Image source, PASurrey boss Alec Stewart won't be happy with that. Rory Burns storms down the wicket and tries to heave over mid-wicket but there is turn, it goes past the bat and it's a simple stumping. Both of the Surrey big-scoring left-handers dismissed within four overs.
Target 221
Seamer James Fuller returns, having taken 2-19 from his first seven overs. Burns keeps the strike with a single off the final ball.
Target 221
So with Sanga gone, Ireland's Gary Wilson is the new batsman and the requirement looks a little different. Surrey need 76 from 90 balls with seven wickets intact. What happens next?
Surrey 143-3 (Burns 54) - target 221
Image source, PAPerhaps even the great Kumar Sangakkara switches off. He has hoicked a full toss from Jack Taylor straight to former England stalwart Chris Tavare's nephew Will at mid-on, not a piece of cricket usually associated with the great man, who questions whether the ball was over waist height.
It wasn't. Not even to James Taylor.

Quote MessageRory Burns has been absolutely brilliant this year and this innings shows his maturity. He's come through from the academy and this season he's really kicked on and taken his maturity on to another level.
Target 221
Rory Burns completes his fourth half century of this year's competition, this one from 64 balls with four fours in partnership of 96, an confident companion for his high profile colleague. He then pulls a short ball to record the 100 stand from 96 balls
Target 221
Benny Howell bolts back on to the field as the bearded Jack Taylor returns to the attack with his off spinners, delivered with a jaunty skip at the start of his run rather like a dressage horse. Sangakkara clips a neat two into the leg side.
Too easy, and the cliche 'batting masterclass' is looming.

Benny Howell has to leave the field, he has strained a fetlock in his delivery stride by the look of things. The rangy left-arm seamer David Payne has to complete the over, prompting Kumar to don the helmet again.
The Sri Lankan is so composed he could virtually play with no pads. Burns takes on a two to mid-wicket with surely no need, but the dive works and he's home.

Quote MessageFrom a batting point of view, Surrey are milking it. There's plenty of gaps out there and the wicket is still good. It's easy enough just to work the ball into the gaps. Gloucestershire are not asking a massive amount of questions of Surrey, at the minute.
Target 221
No justice for Smith, he induces a top-edge from Burns which seems certain to result in a wicket. The ball loops in the air for an eternity but drops safely to mid-on for a single.
Target 221
The Gloucestershire fans are enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine and are treating the Lord's members to some 'songs', no doubt influenced by frequent visits to the refreshment areas.
Howell maintains a disciplined line but the run-rate is not a concern for the two left-handers, and only 99 are now needed from the final 20 overs.
Target 221
Image source, Getty ImagesSangakkara, sporting a lightweight cap against the spinners, reaches a nonchalant fifty from 71 balls, 34 of which have come in singles. Smith is not troubling him it is fair to say.
Target 221
Howell continues, wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick is up to the stumps, maintaining an admirably optimistic approach with his encouragement from behind the timbers in clipped Natal tones, but Sangakkara has so much time to manoeuvre the ball into the gaps.
Target 221
Slow left-armer Smith continues. He began his career with the oldest county, good old Sussex by the sea. He's accurate, but there is no dramatic turn and Burns paddle sweeps easily for two. There is then an lbw appeal but Nick Cook, who will have had many appeals himself as a left-arm spinner, shakes his head. Way outside the line.
Target 221
Thanks Paul. Well, Surrey were actually behind at the halfway stage, in terms of runs anyway, Glos had made 109 but had lost five wickets. Tom Curran and skipper Gareth Batty don't look too concerned, they are having a whale of a time with some blokey antics on the balcony.
Sangakkara pulls a Jack Taylor long hop dismissively for four, only his third boundary, although he is almost playing with one hand behind his back.
Target 221
It appears Tom Smith's nickname is Smudger. That must make it interesting when he meets former seam bowler, and BBC Radio Gloucestershire summariser, Mike Smith. "Hello, Smudger, how are you?" "I'm OK, Smudger, how's yourself?"
Surrey's total moves into three figures with Kumar Sangakkara looking ominously comfortable.
Now, to take you through to end of the final, I pass the 'typing torch' to Jamie Lillywhite.
Target 221
Jack Taylor continues plugging away, yielding only three runs, but Gloucestershire won't win this unless they break this partnership in the not too distant future.
