Arya- It was Gloucestershire skipper Jack Taylor who won the toss and put Surrey in. Buoy it was a whirlwind start from the Surrey openers as Jason Roy and Will Jacks plummeted the Gloucestershire attack all around as they raced off to 60 in less than 5 overs. Both the batters made full use of the powerplay and maximised the fielding restrictions. Roy looked in delightful touch and continued at a breathtaking scoring rate. Jacks wasn’t any way behind as he also slammed three sixes and 4 fours during his half-century.
It was Tom Smith who started the collapse for Surrey as he castled Jason Roy with an arm ball. Roy went for an ugly hoick only to see his stumps get shattered. Smith bagged two more in no time to help Glocustershire claw their way back into the game. Sam Curran thumped a six on his very first ball but it was one too many for him. He stepped down the track yet again and was holed out at long-on in only his second delivery. Laurie Evans also departed soon after as Surrey was reduced to 74/3.
It was an exceptional performance from the Gloucestershire bowlers to stem the run flow and keep taking wickets on regular intervals. Overton and Sunil Narine couldn’t bother the scorers much but the final nail in the coffin for Surrey was the wicket of Will Jacks. He batted beautifully for his 51 of 33 deliveries before getting castled by a sensational yorker right on the money by Naseem Shah. Jamie Howell bowled a splendid spell and didn’t allow the mighty Kieron Pollard to get going.
Van Meekeren who started off poorly came back brilliantly towards the fag end, bagging three important wickets which included the prized wicket of Kieron Pollard. Chris Joran quite control a short delivery from Meekeren and was holed out at deep backward square. Eventually, Surrey was bowled out in less than 15 overs for just 129. Van Meekeren and Tom Smith bagged three wickets each for Gloucestershire.
Arya- Surrey wasn’t defending a huge score and hence they needed early wickets to keep a stronghold on the game. It was a dream start for the Surrey bowlers as they executed the lines and lengths to perfection with the new ball and put Gloucestershire on the backfoot right from the outset. James Bracey was the first to go as he got a leading edge of a length delivery of Sam Curran which was safely taken by Chris Jordan at mid-off.
Miles Hammond was the next to go as he was castled by Reece Topley. It was full and straight, Hammond swung across the line and missed that completely and his middle stumps were clattered. Glenn Philips was the next man to go as he closed the face of the bat a bit too early and ended up giving an easy catch to Sam Curran on his follow-through. The slump never really came down as Gloucestershire lost their 4th wicket, with the score just reading 18.
