8.22pm Handshakes all round... well, that was less tense that it seemed at 33 for 4! Handscomb and Mulder barely batted an eyelid in ticking off the remaining 93 runs, and Leicestershire will face Hampshire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge! Due reward for an outstanding 50-over campaign. Tough luck on Gloucestershire, but despite a spirited new-ball burst, that target of 126 was never likely to be enough. From County Cricket Pop-Up Comms, good night!
