Summary

  • Gloucestershire 220, Surrey 214

  • Retiring Geraint Jones makes 50 for Glos

  • Surrey's Dernbach (6-35) takes hat-trick

  1. Gloucestershire 109-5 (Jones 6, Smith 1)published at 25 overs

    Tom Smith's best score in the One-Day Cup this season is 37 not out. They need a lot more than that from him now. He gets under way with a single. 

    And with that, I hand over to my esteemed colleague Jamie Lillywhite to take you through the second half of Gloucestershire's innings.

    WICKET Roderick (b Mahmood 39)published at 24.3 overs

    Gloucestershire 108-5 (Jones 6)

    It's that man Azhar Mahmood again as Gareth Roderick chops an angled delivery into his stumps. That was the key wicket for Surrey, the right-hander having been there since the third ball of the innings.

    Things looking bleak for Gloucestershire now with only the lower order to come.

  3. Gloucestershire 107-4 (Roderick 40, Jones 5)published at 24 overs

    As well as playing for England, Geraint Jones also represented Papua New Guinea, the country of his birth, at international level. Very few county cricketers can claim that double distinction.

    He can only add one run to his score from another canny over by Surrey skipper Gareth Batty.

  4. Gloucestershire 105-4 (Roderick 38, Jones 4)published at 23 overs

    Geraint Jones is under way with four runs off Azhar Mahmood - a 39-year-old facing a 40-year-old. How many other sports could that happen in at a major cup final?

    It's nipped back a little bit but you need to expect that at Lord's when someone's bowling the Pavilion End. Even if Benny Howell had hit it, it wouldn't have gone anywhere.

  6. wicket

    WICKET Howell (b Mahmood 9)published at 22.2 overs

    Gloucestershire 100-4 (Roderick 38)

    Another major setback for Gloucestershire as Benny Howell is clean bowled by Azhar Mahmood after making the cardinal mistake of leaving a gap between bat and pad (the first lesson my grandad taught me was don't leave a gap between bat and pad!). They badly need Gareth Roderick to bat most of the innings now. 

    Geraint Jones - and Ashes winner in 205 - receives a generous ovation as he walks out for the final innings of his career.

  8. Gloucestershire 100-3 (Roderick 38, Howell 9)published at 22 overs

    Gareth Batty tries his luck from round the wicket to Benny Howell, who is bamboozled totally by the final ball of the over which spins back and clips the top of the pad before running away for three leg-byes - 100 up for Gloucestershire.

  9. Gloucestershire 95-3 (Roderick 37, Howell 8)published at 21 overs

    Azhar Mahmood produces a bouncer and Benny Howell is not in full control of his pull shot as he picks up a single. Only two from the over.

  10. Gloucestershire 93-3 (Roderick 36, Howell 7)published at 20 overs

    With the ball turning, Gareth Batty brings in a leg-slip, but Benny Howell is undaunted as he stretches forward to sweep his first boundary. Who'll be the happier side at the moment - Surrey or Gloucestershire? How many do you think Gloucestershire will make? Let us know using #bbccricket .

    I think Hamish Marshall was doing the right thing there but Gareth Batty might count himself a little bit lucky that he's forced a mistake. He's pushed most of his deliveries down the legside and he hasn't quite found his rhythm.

  12. Gloucestershire 87-3 (Roderick 35, Howell 2)published at 19 overs

    Cricket is certainly a game for all the ages - if you add those of Tom and Sam Curran together, they are still three years short of the venerable Azhar Mahmood. 

    A veteran of 21 Tests and 143 one-day internationals for Pakistan, Mahmood is a wily campaigner and Gloucestershire do not take any liberties from his opening over. A loud lbw appeal against Roderick is turned down with ball jagging back off the pitch. Four off it.

  13. Gloucestershire 83-3 (Roderick 32, Howell 1)published at 18 overs

    Benny Howell is a developing all-round talent and Gloucestershire need him to fire with both bat and ball today. He is under way with a single but a smart piece of fielding by 40-year-old Azhar Mahmood from the final delivery earns him the chance to turn his arm over for Surrey.

    WICKET Marshall (st Wilson b Batty 18)published at 17.1 overs

    Looks like Gareth Batty's leg-side line is a deliberate tactic as Hamish Marshall is lured out of his crease and Gary Wilson makes a smart stumping. The fact that the delivery is also called a wide does not dampen the Surrey celebrations. Gloucestershire now in serious strife with two of their two most experienced batsmen back in the dressing room.

  15. Gloucestershire 78-2 (Roderick 29, Marshall 18)published at 17 overs

    Hamish Marshall drives and Gareth Batty makes an excellent diving save at mid-off to keep Gloucestershire to a single. Sam Curran overpitches again next ball and this time Gareth Roderick finds the gap and the ball scoots away to the rope.

    The final delivery is short, but Marshall picks out the man at deep square leg and has to settle for one.

  16. Gloucestershire 71-2 (Roderick 24, Marshall 16)published at 16 overs

    Time for spin as Surrey skipper Gareth Batty brings himself into the attack. The first ball is a loosener down leg-side which Gary Wilson fails to take and it runs away for five wides.

    Batty follows it with another wide prompting jeers from a section of the crowd and Surrey give away another run as Jason Roy throws at the stumps and the ricochet runs into a gap. Jeers break out among a section of the Gloucestershire supporters - and 11 from the over make it a good one for their team.

  17. Gloucestershire 60-2 (Roderick 23, Marshall 12)published at 15 overs

    Sam Curran gives Hamish Marshall room outside off stump but with four for the taking, the New Zealander cuts straight to the fielder at backward point. It is Curran's best over so far, but Marshall takes a single to mid-off from the final delivery to deny him a maiden.

  18. Gloucestershire 59-2 (Roderick 23, Marshall 11)published at 14 overs

    Tom Curran finds a little bit of lift as Gareth Roderick fends the ball off for a single. But the young bowler strives again for a little extra pace and Hamish Marshall lofts a controlled on-drive away for four.

  19. Gloucestershire 53-2 (Roderick 22, Marshall 6)published at 13 overs

    Sam Curran relieves Jade Dernbach from the Pavilion End and a short ball is pulled away for one by Gareth Roderick to take the total to 50. Hamish Marshall tries to dab an angled ball away past the slip cordon, but it is too close to him for the shot and he fails to make contact.

    Roderick collects a single to mid-off to end the over, with Surrey very happy with the situation at this stage of proceedings.

  20. Gloucestershire 48-2 (Roderick 20, Marshall 5)published at 12 overs

    Gareth Roderick tries to unsettle Tom Curran by moving across his stumps, but it doesn't bring him any runs and only two come from the over. Gloucestershire need a major partnership, but a few boundaries would certainly help their cause at this stage.
