Klinger and Hammond had a look at Van Beek the over before and the intent has been very good.

Glos 29-0published at 3 overs
Blistering start for Gloucestershire as Miles Hammond also flicks one away to mid-wicket for four.
Expensive second over for Logan van Beek.
Hammond follows suitpublished at 2.3 overs
Glos 23-0
And Miles Hammond fancies a bit of that too!
He also gets a six off Logan van Beek with a leading edge form a pull over the fine leg rope.
Klinger gets goingpublished at 2.1 overs
Gos 16-0
Michael Klinger's first boundary of the night is an interesting one over the head of the wicketkeeper down right behind him.
Not sure he could put that there again if he tried!

Glos 10-0published at 2 overs
Putting it politely, Ravi Rampaul is a man carrying a bit more timber in the autumn of his career but he is a canny operator in this format.
Beats the outside edge of Miles Hammond before the left-hander threads a better shot with a drive off the back foot for four through the covers.
Only runs off the over those.

Here comes Ravi Rampaul then to share the new ball for Derbyshire....

BBC Test Match Special commentatorI always think if you are not sure about the pitch it is worth bowling first and having a look at it in the field for 20 overs.
Glos 5-0published at 1 overs
Miles Hammond gets the first runs off the bat with three down to deep mid-wicket.
Almost a four but a good sliding stop on the rope in the field.
Michael Klinger gets off the mark from his first ball with a single to the legside.
Finally we start!published at 19:11 British Summer Time 7 September 2019
Derbyshire seamer Logan van Beek finally gets the nod to get us going and he sends down a wide first delivery to Miles Hammond.
Shall we start again?

So, we've already pushed the start back five minutes but still we wait to get going as nobody's switched the floodlights on yet.
C'mon mate - put that schilling in the metre!

Teams on way out....published at 19:04 British Summer Time 7 September 2019
Pyrotechnics aplenty at the County Ground as the two teams make their way out to the middle.
Derbyshire in a huddle briefly before they go to their fielding places.
Here we go!

Incidentally, we're starting five minutes later at Bristol than originally planned as they're just into the final over at Old Trafford and the broadcasters are waiting for that to conclude.
"Look away now" would be my phrase of choice to describe England's predicament....
Rampaul relishing new ball role for Falconspublished at 18:59 British Summer Time 7 September 2019
Gloucestershire v Derbyshire (19:05 BST)
And Derbyshire have their own seasoned campaigner profiting this year, former West Indies international Ravi Rampaul, now 34, has 21 wickets for the Falcons so far at an impressive economy rate of 6.71 and took 3-19 in that key victory over Lancashire at Old Trafford.
Ravi will most likely get a share of the new ball shortly.

Gloucestershire v Derbyshire (19:05 BST)
Gloucestershire's most successful batsman this year has been evergreen Australian Michael Klinger, the 39-year-old has racked up 356 innings in 11 innings, including an unbeaten century against Hampshire last month.
He'll be opening up with Miles Hammond in a few minutes for the hosts....
