5:12pm Sharp as you like from Gloucestershire as Sussex' 106 is overcome with all of 38 balls to spare.

Vitality Player of the Match is David Payne for his 1 for 9 from four overs: "As a pack, we've all been pretty on it this year. We joked about it before the day that how good it would be to have a West County derby. Part one and two has gone alright. Now let's see..."
