- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.3 Klinger has been sent packing for a duck in the final. Dernbach is pumped and is mobbed by his team-mates. This was fractionally short and outside off. Klinger wants to force it away with a cut... He has a whoosh at it and can only feather it behind to Wilson 0/18.2 Dernbach sets off on a celebratory sprint. He follows up the short ball with a full one outside off. Dent drives, does so firmly but hits it straight down the gullet of mid-off. Mahmood pouches it; he did not have to budge. Sam Curran would heave a sigh of relief.. 40/224.3 wide of the crease works again! It seemed all set for the dab to third man - back of a length ball well wide of off stump, straightforward batting decision, right? Except this is Lords and there is the slope to worry about. The ball pitches, cuts back in, hits the inside edge of the angled bat and clatters into the stumps 108/517 there we go, he has been bowling those all day and now gets a wicket off a wide! That time it was a tactic. Marshall gave up on the safety of his crease a bit too early, Batty saw him coming and seized the opportunity for a stumping by bowling down leg. Wilson was awake to the opportunity, he was already waiting down leg as the good length ball skirted past the batsman's attempted flick 79/322.2 down the slope and bowled im! Tentative defence from Howell, because the ball was full but not quite full enough to push hard at. Indecision from Howell and it does him in. The ball hits the deck, seams back in, hurtles through the gap between bat and pad and timber 100/447.2 excellent yorker to follow up this time. Jones gives himself room to find a gap through the off side but the ball is quick and straight. Jones raises his bat as he walks off. Great innings from Jones. 220/839.2 Smith goes, run-out. What an unfortunate way to go! Dernbach, at short third man, fires in a throw to Batty at the non-strikers end and Smith has to go. He is a foot short of the crease. End of a good stand but the wicket falls at a very inopportune time for Gloucs. Just when they had to kick on 160/645.4 gone this time. Dernbach's worst ball gets the wicket. It is a low full toss outside off with third man inside the circle. Taylor gives himself room and cuts nicely but straight to Sam Curran at backward point who takes a good, low catch. Vital wicket for Surrey. Could be a 20-run difference to the final score. 209/747.3 inside edge and gone, Very good, inswinging delivery from Dernbach. The ball comes back in and takes the inside edge of Miles' bat which is followed up by an excellent catch from Jones. Dernbach has five. Gloucs are nine down. 220/947.4 hat-trick for Dernbach. Looked like going down leg. But given by the umpire. Terrible decision. Slower, dipping ball from Dernbach and Payne ducks again, unable to pick the slower ball. Payne is hit well down leg, and going down leg too. That is it, though. And Gloucs are all out, well below par. Six for Dernbach. 220/10Extras24 (b 2, lb 9, nb 2, w 11)TOTAL220 all out (47.4 Overs, RR: 4.61)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Michael Klinger, 0.3 ov), 2-40 (Chris Dent, 8.2 ov), 3-79 (Hamish Marshall, 16.6 ov), 4-100 (Benny Howell, 22.2 ov), 5-108 (Gareth Roderick, 24.3 ov), 6-160 (Tom Smith, 39.2 ov), 7-209 (Jack Taylor, 45.4 ov), 8-220 (Geraint Jones, 47.2 ov), 9-220 (Craig Miles, 47.3 ov), 10-220 (David Payne, 47.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 has been looking too eager all innings and now he is gone having got into a shot too early. Shoritsh delivery on and around off stump, Roy goes for a bit of a hack and the bottom edge pops safely into the hands of cover 13/112 move to around the wicket works! Surrey were finding so many early runs to third man with those delicate little dabs. Fuller and captain Klinger decide to change tactics. Extra pace, the angle is now into the batsman who was backing away to tap the ball to third man again. Only this time he has no room, he is off his feet and looks hurried into the stroke and drags the ball onto the stumps 42/234.1 Sanga's gone. What an innocuous delivery. Full toss on middle, Sangakkara comes down the track and tries to hit the ball over mid-on but the ball takes the upper half of the bat and lobs up for an easy catch. Sanga enquires whether it was over waist-height but it wasn't. Extremely soft dismissal. 143/336.2 does him in flight! Gloucs are fighting back big time! Burns races down the track, looks to hit against the turn and there is plenty of turn from Taylor, all down to the slow pace that he bowls and the loop he gives the ball. Burns cannot reach the pitch, does not pull out of the stroke either and is comfortably stumped. 148/440.2 another wicket off a full toss! Captain at short midwicket takes a good low catch and Gloucs are making a fine match of this. Wilson had come down the track, took the flatter delivery on the full and clipped it hoping for a single or so. But he fails to keep the ball down and Klinger is in the way. Just about takes it, and then supports it against his chest for good measure so it doesnt pop out 165/549.1 taken at long-on. Payne, you beauty! Curran cannot believe it, he has held his nerve for so long. This ends up being a bit of length ball (Payne was looking for the yorker), but it was quick and cramping him for room. Curran goes for the lash over long-on. Mistimes it and gives the catch to a pumped up Howell 214/944.4 lo-ve-ly bowling! Azhar just could not hold himself back. He should have considering the situation, but it is the experienced man who has had a brain fade. Races down the track, gave his intentions away too soon. Smith bowls it wide, beats him comfortably and Roderick pulls off a simple stumping 191/645.3 ump has given it! But I think this was spinning down leg! Tom was going for the reverse sweep again, this was the quicker delivery. Beats the batsman comfortably and hits the bent back leg. Hit in front of leg stump, yes, but that really was a marginal call. Hawk-Eye says it was missing leg by a distance 192/749 this is a run-out, Gloucs are certain of it. Burke does not dive, just stretches and he is found short by inches. This was a full and straight delivery, Curran hoicks it away towards midwicket. Dent is the man there, fumbles it a bit, but the throw is brilliant. Roderick runs forward, in front of the stumps, takes it and flips the stumps over. Excellent presence of mind from the wicketkeeper 214/849.3 taken at deep midwicket! Gloucs have ended an 11-year trophy drought! This is a short ball, Batty thinks this is it and he swings away to the deep. Midwicket is on the boundary and takes a lovely pressure catch and that is it. 214/10Extras13 (b 2, lb 4, nb 2, w 5)TOTAL214 all out (49.3 Overs, RR: 4.32)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Jason Roy, 5.5 ov), 2-42 (Steven Davies, 11.6 ov), 3-143 (Kumar Sangakkara, 34.1 ov), 4-148 (Rory Burns, 36.2 ov), 5-165 (Gary Wilson, 40.2 ov), 6-191 (Azhar Mahmood, 44.4 ov), 7-192 (Tom Curran, 45.3 ov), 8-214 (James Burke, 48.6 ov), 9-214 (Sam Curran, 49.1 ov), 10-214 (Gareth Batty, 49.3 ov)
