12:30 AM IST, 8 PM Local Time: That's it. Middlesex get back to winning ways with a convincing win over Gloucestershire. They win the game by 23 runs in Northwood. Their batters set up things beautifully by posting a formidable total on the board before their bowlers stepped up and defended it successfully.
After electing to bat first, Middlesex lost Stephen Eskinazi (20) and Ben Geddes (25) inside the powerplay but the pair of Kane Williamson and Leus du Plooy resurrected the innings nicely. Both played some lovely strokes and brought up their respective fifties.
The 92-run stand between Williamson (52) and du Plooy (54) laid the foundation for a strong finish and Ryan Higgins' 16-ball 28 cameo in the end powered Middlesex to 189/5 at the end of their 20 overs. Marchant de Lange bowled well for Gloucestershire at the back end of the innings and registered figures of 2/30.
In reply, Gloucestershire lost Miles Hammond (8), Cameron Bancroft (20) and Oliver Price (0) cheaply. D'Arcy Short held the innings nicely while opening the batting and received good support from Jack Taylor. Both put 75 between them for the fourth wicket before D'Arcy fell on 46-ball 64 in the 17th over.
Taylor also departed on 41 in the very next over and things fell apart for Gloucestershire in the chase. Middlesex bowled beautifully and closed out the game. They restricted Gloucestershire to 166/7 to win the game by 23 runs. Sebastian Morgan (2/34) and Luke Hollman (2/30) picked up two scalps each for Middlesex as they defended the total successfully to get back to winning ways.

19.6 R Higgins to D Payne
0 Higgins bowls it full outside off, Payne looks to squeeze it in the point region but fails to get any bat on it.
19.5 R Higgins to J Shaw
1 Full on off, Shaw swings at it and gets an inside edge on his back leg. Single taken as the ball rolls square of the wicket in the off side.
19.4 R Higgins to J Shaw
4 FOUR!!! Shaw is away with a boundary. A low full toss on the stumps, Shaw whips it nicely in front of square in the leg side. Splits the gap between deep mid wicket and long on perfectly to find the fence.
