- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.2 low full-toss, right up at the base of the stumps, and somehow clipped straight to mid-on! Not sure how Ward got the ball there, but he did, a bit of a leading edge maybe, as he closed the face on the full length, and now Sussex are right in the soup 13/22.3 Payne bags the big fish! Hughes has been the rock of Sussex's batting, but Payne has his number, pushed through on a full length, hint of swing, cramping the batter as he shuffled to the off-side, and under-edged into his own stumps 13/16.2 splat goes the off stump! Two freebies and a missed sweep! Price finds his length from round the wicket, straightens just enough past an ambitious sweep, and Sussex are five-down! 44/55.2 flicked hard off the full length, straight to short midwicket! Coles joins the procession, and Gloucestershire are soaring! 27/35.3 pinger! Unplayably good! Pitched up from over the wicket, perfect seam position, grips the length, jags and bounces like a legbreak, through the gate and into the top of off! 27/49.5 very straight, very full, very out! SImpson reviews, but this looks futile. Pitched in line with off, was angling in at the rest of the stumps. He lined up the sweep but the ball speared underneath his bat. There might be half a chance the margin of error says it's impact outside off, but no, the umpire's call goes with Gloucestershire, and so does the wicket! 64/78.6 long-hop, picks out the man this time! His eyes lit up as the ball was dragged down, but his urgent bash across the line flew straight into the fielder's bread-basket. This is going Pete Tong for Sussex 60/618.1 holes out to deep midwicket! It was stick or twist time for Carson, he decided this was the moment to go, and though it was a solid connection across the line, he found Hammond, who stooped well to complete his fourth catch of the innings, and an emphatic display from the tournament's late chargers! 106/1015.5 extra air from Smith, luring Robinson into the big heave, but the pace wasn't there, and Hammond takes a good catch at deep mid-off, judging the swirling ball well 101/815.5 Mills is done first-ball! Bracey nails him down the leg-side, in a Gloucestershire circa-2000 tribute dismissal! Soft hands, gathering the ball fired past the pads, he took it blind but whipped off the bails in an instant! Hat-trick ball No.3 for the day coming up! 102/9Extras17 (lb 8, w 9)TOTAL106 all out (18.1 Overs, RR: 5.83)Fall of wickets: 1-13 (Daniel Hughes, 2.3 ov), 2-13 (Harrison Ward, 3.2 ov), 3-27 (James Coles, 5.2 ov), 4-27 (Tom Alsop, 5.3 ov), 5-44 (Tom Clark, 6.2 ov), 6-60 (Fynn Hudson-Prentice, 8.6 ov), 7-64 (John Simpson, 9.5 ov), 8-101 (Ollie Robinson, 15.5 ov), 9-102 (Tymal Mills, 15.5 ov), 10-106 (Jack Carson, 18.1 ov)

Hammond makes room to the leg side, goes to lift over cover but gets the thickest of outside edges out to Hudson-Prentice at deep point 17/110.1 Bancroft goes! Coles gets his wicket, angling into Bancroft from around the wicket.
