Gloucestershire beat Surrey by six runs

Gloucestershire kept up their amazing winning record in finals at Lord's as they pulled off a thrilling six-run One-Day Cup win over Surrey.
Jade Dernbach's superb 6-35, finished with a hat-trick, saw Gloucestershire all out for 220 in the 48th over.
Kumar Sangakkara (60) and Rory Burns (56) then shared a stand of 101 to put Surrey in control on 143-2.
But eight wickets went down for 71 runs as they were all out for 214 with three balls remaining in the final over.
It was Gloucestershire's ninth win in 10 Lord's one-day finals - and the perfect way for Geraint Jones, who had earlier hit a half-century himself, to bow out in his final game before retirement.
For dejected opposite number Gareth Batty - caught by man-of-the-match Jack Taylor in the final over to spark wild scenes of Gloucestershire jubilation - it was the former Worcestershire and England spinner's third Lord's final defeat, all of them by Gloucestershire.
They did not appear to have put enough runs on the board despite a Jones-inspired recovery from 108-5 to 220-7, in which Taylor contributed 35 off 26 balls.
And 15 deliveries were left unused after Dernbach finished off the innings by claiming the wickets of Jones (50), and then Craig Miles and David Payne for successive first-ball ducks.
