Gloucestershire 214 for 7 beat Yorkshire 213 for 7 by three wickets

Gloucestershire beat Yorkshire to the last promotion spot in the Championship and they did them again in the National League at Headingley, even though it didn't have the same consequences. Yorkshire were already relegated and Gloucestershire had the second place secured- and the game reflected that. Martyn Ball took 5 for 33 to restrict Yorkshire to 213 for 7, as Joe Sayers, 19, made 62 on his debut. And another Yorkshire youngster, Nick Thornicroft, 18, took 5 for 42 and gave Gloucestershire a fright after he reduced them to 37 for 4. But Matt Windows and Alex Gidman then came to the rescue. Windows scored 91 not out, including 11 fours, and Gidman provided steady support with 48. Gloucestershire won with five balls to spare and ended the season in second place, four points behind Surrey.
