5:21pm: Top, top effort from Klinger. He waves his bat in triumph and acknowledges the crowd. After the bowlers launched a fightback, Dent and Klinger began well, laying a solid base in pursuit of 264. Though Dent and Roderick perished relatively quickly, Klinger continued to drive Gloucestershire onward, and found an able ally in Marshall. The pair put on an unbroken 177 runs, pacing the chase expertly. That's all we have for you today. We will be looking forward to your company tomorrow for the second semi-final between Surrey and Nottinghamshire. Until then, buh-bye and cheers.
Klinger (who else?) has been named Man of the Match
Srihari: "With the form Klinger is in, it wouldn't be the worst idea to call him up for the Australia squad to replace Warner for the remaining ODIs. "
