Given Gloucs were 61-0 at one point, to bowl them out for 229 is very good indeed. Now need to bat well.

The commentators at the Surrey v Somerset game have been discussing Essex's position. If that match is called a draw, as is probable, Essex are out of contention for Div 1.
Oh dear, how sad.

TBF if you're going to get a bad decision, this game isn't a bad one to get it!RVDM given out caught off his pad, no bat involved!
337-7.
Please can you not lose any wickets for the next 89 overs?
A good solid batting start, very unlike Hants! Don't know if this has been raised already & potentially tempting a clatter of wickets. I was assuming we would need to beat Glous to finish above them, and finishing in the top 2 of group 1 might be very unlikely without. But we need to out score Glous by 7 points to finish above. If Hants got to 400 for 3 off less than110 overs would declaring ensure whilst Hants got 8 bonus points would Glous only get 1 if they weren't given the opportunity to bowl their full 110 over allocation for bonus points? Big longshot but if CDG comes in a bit early & produces a similar innings to last week then who knows!

These two are trying, I can't remember the last century opening partnership for Hants. 50 for Weatherley, well played, credit where it's due.
Somerset playing for time at the Oval. The longer they can hang on, the more joy Leach and co. will get when they bowl.
As I write Jack Brooks is caught, 429 all out. Just need 6 wickets now!

Say this pair go on to a 200+ partnership I wonder if Hants would consider promoting CDG up the order given that 400/2 within 110 overs would see a scenario that Hants could draw and still get top 2.
Poor drop again, Holland having a charmed life, still dropped catches have cost us dearly this season.
