Commentary

That brings us to the end of our coverage for this T20 Blast game. Till the next time, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) signing off also on behalf of my fellow commentator and good mate Pragadeesh. Goodnight! Cheers!

Kent Spitfires won by 7 wickets (with 18 deliveries to spare)

Gloucestershire 137 all-out in 19.3 overs

Miles Hammond 30(20) | Zafar Gohar Khan 25(26)
Jack Leaning 2/16(4) | Grant Stewart 2/19(2.1)

Kent Spitfires 138/3 in 17 overs

Daniel Bell-Drummond 56*(49) | Jordan Cox 31*(20)
Tom Price 1/29(3) | Tom Smith 0/11(3)

It was a thoroughly professional run chase from the Kent Spitfires as they made light work of the target of 138 and chased it down with 7 wickets in hand and with 3 overs to spare. Daniel Bell-Drummond played the anchor role to perfection and reached a half-century in the final over of the match. Sam Billings and Jordan Cox provided the much-needed impetus which ensured the required rate was never a problem.

Tawanda Muyeye departed early in the form of a run-out but the likes of Joe Denly and Bell-Drummond helped their side recover from the early wicket. They eased through the powerplay but Denly was dismissed against the run of play which provided some hope to Gloucs. Sam Billings came out in the middle and suddenly turned the game with a few lusty blows.

He took the attack to Tom Price in his very first over as the required rate suddenly went down rapidly. He looked in brilliant touch for his score of 28 off just 18 deliveries which included a couple of fours and a six. An uncharacteristic mix up cost him his wicket but by then the target was well within their grasp. Cox then turned the heat in the final ew overs and blazed away to a 20 ball 31 to see their side through.

16.6 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, back of a length outside off, Drummond opens the bat face to work it to the right of backward point. One run

16.5 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, FOUR! Low full toss, Drummond swings it towards mid-on and the fielder fumbles to let the ball run away to the fence

16.5 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, yorker length outside off, carved towards backward point

16.4 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, FIFTY FOR DRUMMOND! Fuller delivery into the pads, clipped behind square for a couple

16.3 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, WIDE! Hits the deck hard and it goes over the helmet

16.2 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, back of a length, steered towards backward point

16.1 Tom Price to Daniel Bell-Drummond, FOUR! Good length and width on offer, Drummond plays it late as he opens the bat face to chop this to the left of backward point

Another excellent over for the Kent Spitfires. Jordan Cox is off to a flyer and he is looking to finish the match off in a hurry. Some disdainful shots in that over and the next over could be the final over of the match with just 12 runs required.

15.6 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, short of a length outside off, pulled down to deep mid-wicket for a couple

15.5 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, short of a length and it jumps off the surface, Cox swings and misses

15.4 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, FOUR MORE! Misses the yorker, Cox gets underneath the low full toss and knocks it to the right of mid-on

15.4 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, WIDE! Slow delivery on a good length and it goes away from the wide line

15.3 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, FOUR! Hits the deck hard, Cox picks the length early and nails the pull over mid-wicket. The ball goes flat, bounced in front of ropes and goes over it

15.2 Ben Charlesworth to Jordan Cox, short of a length outside off, Cox swings across but didn't get any contact

15.1 Ben Charlesworth to Daniel Bell-Drummond, fuller length, driven down to mid-off for a single

Ben Charlesworth [2-0-17-0] is back into the attack.

Jordan Cox striking some muscular blows in that over and it should be a cakewalk for Kent from here. Just 24 more needed in the last 5 overs. Valuable two points up for grabs and they are looking set to pick those points up.
