T20 Blast: Gloucestershire stun Birmingham Bears to reach Finals Day

After putting the visitors in, it looked like Moeen Ali’s decison had backfired when openers Miles Hammond and Cameron Bancroft raced past 50 in just five overs.

But Dan Mousley made the breakthrough when he had Hammond caught for 30, before James Bracey and Ollie Price fell cheaply as spinner Briggs struck in successive overs – and Gloucestershire reached halfway on 74-3.

That became 79-4 when Glos skipper Jack Taylor was caught behind off Zak Foulkes, the first of three wickets for the New Zealander.

Ben Charlesworth holed out off Moeen and then came the big wicket of Bancroft, run out by George Garton’s direct hit.

Tom Price did resist with 19 off 14 balls, including the last of the three sixes in the innings, before being accounted for by Foulkes, who then got rid of Josh Shaw first ball.

But, when Garton managed a second direct hit to run out Matt Taylor and Payne skied to Briggs to bring Mousley a second wicket, that was it – and 138 did not look nearly enough.
