Burke keeps them to singles and it is another lull, a fourth over without a boundary.

Umpire Nick Cook is having a super game, that lbw appeal against Smith looked to be bang in front but the former England spinner is right again and it was angling down. Still super figures for Azhar Mahmood, 2-28, with only one six and one four conceded. He's gone straight off, maybe to that bath, and a substitute has come on.

James Burke's first two overs have gone for 13 but he's kept in the attack and he keeps it tighter in this one. The 150 up for Glos and with both batsmen set, can they afford to wield the willow yet?

Looks like Azhar Mahmood is going to bowl through his 10 overs here, and then dream of a hot bath perhaps between innings. Another lbw appeal with that ball nipping back to Geraint Jones but the not out decision is correct as it angles down.

Burke strays, barely pitching on the cut strip wide of off stump and Jones cue ends it through the vacant slip cordon for another four. A leg-side wide from Burke, and Glos are building as the partnership moves to 34.

That's woken the crowd up, a rare Azhar Mahmood full toss and Geraint whips it away over cow corner for the maximum. Mahmood then nips one back and raps him on the pad but not out is the decision, replays show it was clipping leg stump, but there is none of that DRS business in this match.

Seamer James Burke replaces his captain, he took 5-28 in this competition against Derbyshire this year. He begins with a no-ball but the free hit is merely edged to the keeper by Smith.

Azhar Mahmood has not played a 50-over match for over a year and his run-up is decidedly streamlined off about half a dozen paces these days, but he continues to frustrate the batsmen and limit them to singles.

Maybe some of the Gloucestershire players might have been at Kingsholm if they hadn't been otherwise engaged at Lord's.

Another over without a boundary, Gareth Batty conceding four singles. When do Glos press the accelerator? Can they risk it yet? Their fans have had occasional bursts of merriment but they'd like more reasons to cheer in the warm autumnal sunshine. 

Geraint Jones averaged 24 in his ODI career for England, with a best of 80. That would be useful today. They can't get Azhar Mahmood away though, and just a single results from the wily fox's sixth over, 2-15 for him.

The combative and wily Gareth Batty is breezing through his overs from round the wicket, making elaborate prose difficult. Geraint Jones is 39 now but he still looks like a teenager scampering between the wickets, but it's only singles again.

Mahmood was an established international for Pakistan before Sam Curran was born and his experience is telling again here, an immaculate line on and around off stump. A fourth successive over without a boundary.

How Glos could do with a Mark Alleyne century here. But it's a just a single from the over.
