6.50pm: Gloucestershire are 102-8, leading by 180 runs. Dhariwal is on 36 and Taylor 6. There are still five overs left today, and with bright sunshine we should get through them.

6.20pm: Gloucestershire are 86-8, leading by 164. Dhariwal is 26 and Taylor 0. Kamran Dhariwal and Will Williams had been slowly adding to the lead, but Williams has just gone for 11, brilliantly caught by Ben Walkden diving low to his right at midwicket off James Anderson.
5.32pm: Wicket. Gloucestershire are 63-7, leading by 141. Dhariwal 7, Williams 0. Incredible. Sai Kishore tried to hit Ben Walkden over the top but was caught by Mitch Stanley, who took another good catch over his shoulder while running back towards the boundary.

It is safe to say Kamran Dhariwal and Daaryoush Ahmed did not think they would be batting together at quarter past five when they resumed Gloucestershire's first innings at 10.30am this morning.
