    Hat-trick hero Jade Dernbach on Sky Sports: "It's an amazing feeling to be able to contribute to what was an outstanding bowling performance, it was about time I contributed. Come mid-September you're probably looking at the pitch and saying it is the most helpful time to bowl. I've worked at my new ball bowling and luckily it came off. 

    "You get a gut feel, it's not often it comes off but today was my day. Perhaps people were waiting for variations but I wanted to get my stock ball right. It's only half a job though so hopefully the batsmen go out and knock those off."

    When that comes out, Jade Dernbach's arm is coming at the same speed. The batsman is thinking it's going to hit his head so he ducks, but the fact is, that's missing leg stump by quite some distance.

    Hat-trick for Dernbach! It's a terrible decision as it transpires, it hit him on the back as he ducked a full toss and was missing leg stump, but umpire Rob Bailey has given it and Glos are all out. 

    Surely 220 isn't going to be enough against a powerful Surrey top order? Dernbach finishes with figures of 6-35, the best figures in the competition this season - what a time to do it for the multi-tattooed paceman.

    First ball dismissal and Dernbach is on a hat-trick, an inside edge to keeper Gary Wilson and the much-maligned Jade has a five-for. He's never far from being pumped up and he's certainly fully inflated now.

    Geraint Jones brings up fifty from 64 balls with his fourth four but then hears the death rattle as a yorker from Jade Dernbach thuds into the timbers and signals the end for the former England wicketkeeper, who is retiring at the end of the season. 

  6. Gloucestershire 216-7 (Jones 46, Fuller 3)published at 47 overs

    After conceding 20 in his previous over, Tom Curran sends in the yorkers and has much better returns, with just singles and one two conceded.

    James Fuller is the new man, with a highest score of 45 this year. He is greeted by a Dernbach bouncer but takes a single off the final ball.

    It's very good catch by Sam Curran. A yard either side and it would have been another boundary. Jack Taylor has batted really well but every time Gloucestershire claw back another position, Surrey just nip it in the bud.

    Jade Dernbach is going through the repertoire and a slower ball is a full toss which is delightfully put away through extra cover for four by Taylor but then from a low full toss he's caught at backward point and a 26-ball cameo ends too early for Gloucestershire's liking.

    Only the second six and again it has come from a full toss. Taylor is clearly not a man to bowl that to, but what happens? Tom Curran bowls the same delivery and that is dispatched even further over mid-wicket for six more. Then there's a mis-field,and Jones plays a vintage cover drive for four, 200 up and 20 off the over.

    Jade Dernbach, oh the texts we used to get when he played for England...but his first six-over spell produced a superb 2-18. Improvisation from Jack Taylor, who moves way across his stumps and shovels one with a short backlift through the leg side for four.

    Tom Curran continues, an open-chested action and he's in the early 80s mph. Jack Taylor clips a slower ball for two but there are no boundaries again and the rate is barely above four. Six an over from here only gets them to 217.

    Gareth Batty stays round the wicket and after that ignominious start with five wides from his opening delivery it is a commendable 1-43 from 10 overs for the 37-year-old former England spinner. Jack Taylor picks up a brace of twos and will be loosening the limbs for a big finish 

  15. Gloucestershire 162-6 (Jones 31, Taylor 1)published at 41 overs

    Tom Curran is a spirited young man, he gives it the old threaten to throw but there is no Mitchell Starc-style incident as he does not release the ball. The first maiden of the match, and not what Gloucester need with only nine overs left.

    Jack Taylor is the new man, and he has made 156 from 125 balls against Northants in the County Championship this year. He won't have time for that but a similarly aggressive innings would be appreciated by the Gloucestershire contingent.

    Well they had to go for it but Tom Smith was short of his ground in pursuit of a quick single, Jade Dernbach at backward point fires in an accurate throw and bowler Gareth Batty whips off the bails.

    Tom Curran returns, his top knot glistening in the sunshine. A top knot to the Lord's members would previously have only meant how they fasten their egg and bacon ties. He has a menacing approach to the crease does TC and it is only singles that result. The fifty partnership arrives from 84 balls.

    Gloucestershire's running has been excellent. They've scampered twos and that's a real credit to them and how they've got to the final. They've worked really well together as a team.
