Gloucestershire 309 for 7 (Bancroft 68, Eckland 68*, Bracey 56, Leech 3-59) beat Northamptonshire 308 (McSweeney 79, Bartlett 75, Ahmed 4-56) by three wicketsJoseph Eckland compiled a nerveless innings of 68 not out to carry Gloucestershire to a three-wicket victory over Northamptonshire Steelbacks in a tense Metro Bank One Day Cup contest at Cheltenham. Pursuing 309 to win, Gloucestershire's chase was set up by Cameron Bancroft and James Bracey , who posted 68 and 56 respectively. Ahmed returned to take the key wicket of McSweeney, the Australian losing leg stump to an ugly swish. Gloucestershire openers Bracey and Bancroft accrued 17 boundaries in a lucrative stand of 99 in 14 overs to afford the chase crucial impetus. Steelbacks needed a wicket and Procter served up two, having Price caught behind and then inducing Bancroft to drive to mid-off.
