I think it's safe to say Bracey isn't getting near the test side again. Too many good keepers and he's had a horrendous series.

Horrendous shot played by a player under horrendous pressure with his side in a horrendous situation.

I wonder if Gloucs might give him a short break now, or whether a bit of t20 bashing might be the perfect medicine for him?
 
The signings of Garton and Overton for the 100 look a lot better now than when we made them about 18 months ago.
 
Surely you give Garton a third? Get Vince, you probably get the game. And even if he didn't, but still bowled another tight PP over, that's still a great outcome.

Really poor decision to bring on Beer. Bring on another seamer if you're going to make a change.
 
See, batting Lewis in the middle against a spinner is a somewhat better idea than at the death against seamers.
 
Annoying. But far less annoying than seeing him drowning at the end of an innings. At least we used him right for once.
 
That goes a long way to summing us in t20 in the past four years. For almost any other team, that flies away past the keeper for 4.
