Gloucestershire 184 for 2 beat Yorkshire 183 by eight wickets at Cheltenham
It was a case of Top showing Bottom just how it's done in the National League.
Craig Spearman continued his rich vein of form, spanking 93 not out from 88 balls to consolidate Gloucestershire's position at the top of Division One. Yorkshire's total of 183 never looked like being enough, and Spearman and Phil Weston very nearly overhauled it singlehandedly, adding 143 for the first wicket before Weston was caught by Yuvraj Singh for 62. Gloucestershire owed their position, however, to a fine spell of bowling from James Averis, who topped and tailed Yorkshire's innings with figures of 4 for 50. Matthew Wood (38) and Stephen Fleming (21) made steady starts, but steady was as good as it got.
