21:27 Local Time, 20:27 GMT, 01:57 IST: Somerset continue to rule roost at the top of the table and almost confirm a home quarter-final as well. Despite losing 4 wickets inside 8 overs, the chase never looked in doubt. Will Smeed smashed a 42-ball 78 and set base for the middle and lower-middle-order. Ben Green and Kasey Aldridge ensured Smeed's efforts didn't go in vain as the duo played some smart cricket to help their team get past the winning line. Gloucestershire bowling was good in patches, and it needed a bit more than that to stop Somerset on their home turf. We hope you had great fun following this game. Until next time, cheers and goodbye!!
