Gloucester bat, good start 101-1 off 8 then collapse to 173 all out, no problems.
Somerset bat, first of all the guy on the burger van sets the place on fire, trying to smoke out the batsmen working well at 21-4 with Trescothick, Langer ,Hildreth all smoked out. then the Somerset hit back with Trego and Kieswetter pounding the ball to all corners of the ground so they then try to tamper with the ball, after one six some bloke in the crowd puts the ball in his pocket and when it returns, the umpires cant decide if it’s the same ball, another six caught in the crowd only to be dunked into a pint of beer.
Anyway Somerset back in the run rate but now Trego gone followed by Suppiah and Thomas, the game could go either way. Not content with the smoke and ball tampering they try a streaker to put the batsmen off, "we’ve seen some bigs ones today"
said David Llyod, but it all back fires when they run out of time and haven’t bowled the overs in the allotted time and are deducted six runs for slow overrate, handing Somerset the victory.
