Gloucestershire won by 5 wkts

17:16 Local Time, 16:16 GMT, 21:46 IST: It has actually turned out to be a walk in the park for Gloucestershire. Winning the toss and opting to bat, Sussex finished with 160 on the board on the back of good contributions from Harrison Ward and Michael Burgess but it was a below-par score on a good batting deck. In the run-chase, the visitors got off to a brisk start but also lost three wickets inside the powerplay. However, the batters who came in kept things moving on and the required rate was always under check. They lost a few wickets in a bid to finish the game off as soon as possible. But, Bracey and Taylor stayed till the end and finished things off in style. With this loss, Sussex are out of the qualification race for the QF. Gloucestershire were already out of the race for the QF before this game but they have garnered some pride with this convincing win. That's it from our side! We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Hop tabs and catch the action unfolding at Lord's where England are under some early pressure in a quest to chase down 371 runs. Till then, goodbye and cheers!
