5.10pm - ALL OUT! Riley c Gidman b Payne 0; 242 all out - Payne grabs a five-for as Adam Riley chips tamely to cover to complete a miserable final ten overs for the Spitfires.
5.07pm - WICKET! Claydon b Miles 9; Kent 241/9 - Mitch Claydon muscles one over midd-off for a welcome boundary but is bowled next ball, as Miles claims his third with an excellent slower ball.
5.02pm - Kent are scampering as many singles as they can but look set to fall just short of the 250 they would have hoped for. It should be a very challenging total though
Wicket Ball lbw b Payne 6. Kent Spitfires 232/8 (46.4 overs) Claydon 2* Griffiths 0* #KENvGLO

4.53pm - WICKET! Blake lbw Howell 4; Kent 226/7 - Three quick wickets now as Gloucestershire fight their way back into the game with some excellent death bowling. Full and straight and Alex Blake is trapped in front.
4.45pm - WICKET! Billings lbw Miles 61; Kent 222/6 - Billings creams another reverse-sweep to the boundary but is gone next over, as he tries to walk across the stumps but a full ball from Miles raps him on the pads and he's given out. What a great innings that was, but the Kent momentum has evaporated.
4.38pm - WICKET! Northeast b Miles 78; Kent 215/4 - Northeast swings across the line at a ball that keeps low and is bowled by Miles. The opener has held the innings together superbly.
4.35pm - FIFTY! Billings (29b 5x4 3x6) - Billings advances down the track and cracks a Miles full-toss through the covers for four. This is some innings. He is providing the Spitfires with the impetus they need.
4.32pm - This is a fine cameo from Billings, who crunches Jack Taylor for his third six, over mid-off, and then reverse-sweeps the spinner for four. Kent have 200 on the board with eight overs remaining. How many will they get?
4.28pm - Billings goes on the attack and lifts Dent for the first six of the innings. Kent need more of them! And that is what they get as the right-hander, giving himself room, blasts another maximum in the over.
There's still plenty of cricket left in this Quarter Final so come on down to The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence after work for a great night!

4.23pm - Chris Dent has a huge lbw appeal turned down against Billings on the sweep. Cockbain then gifts Northeast four by tamely letting the ball through his legs on the midwicket boundary. That was sloppy.
4.17pm - Billings backs away and flicks Payne behind square for four before finding the mid-on rope next ball. Kent are upping the tempo.
4.11pm - Northeast and Sam Billings, two of the Spitfires' impressive performers in this competition this term, are charged with the task of lifting their side to a commanding total. Kent are 140 for four with 15 overs remaining.
4.01pm - WICKET! Stevens c Cockbain b Payne 12; Kent 133/4 - It was slow going for Stevens and Northeast, who added 16 in five overs. The former then tried to up the ante, only to find Ian Cockbain at cow corner and hand Payne a third scalp.
3.46pm - Darren Stevens clobbers Will Gidman to the midwicket boundary. Kent will be hoping for a big innings from the veteran today.

3.39pm - WICKET! Cowdrey c A Gidman b W Gidman 51; Kent 117/3 - Will Gidman makes the breakthrough as Cowdrey's leading edge is gobbled up by his brother Alex at cover.
3.36pm - CENTURY PARTNERSHIP! - Cowdrey collects a single that takes his stand with Northeast into three figures. Gloucestershire need a wicket.
3.33pm - FIFTY! Cowdrey (66b 5x4 0x6) - Cowdrey reaches the milestone in 18 balls fewer than Northeast. The youngsters are complimenting each other perfectly.
3 .31pm - FIFTY! Northeast (84b 5x4 0x6) - Northeast wins the race to a half-century by crashing Gidman past mid-off for another boundary.

3.15pm - Cowdrey is almost run out when he is sent back by Northeast, but Roderick fails to hit the stumps. The Kent opener then whips Miles through midwicket for four.
3.12pm - REVIEW! - Northeast is home just before Craig Miles takes off the bails at the non-striker's end.

2.56pm - Northeast opens his shoulders and lofts a straight drive over mid-off for four off Howell. The hosts are 56 for two from 16 overs. This is a solid recovery from Northeast and Cowdrey.
2.46pm - Cowdrey races into the twenties by tickling Benny Howell, in his second over after replacing Gidman, to the vacant fine-leg rope.
After 5 overs Kent Spitfires 35/2 Northeast 16* Cowdrey 17* #KENvGLO

2.32pm - Cowdrey replicates his team-mate's shot from the previous Gidman over and then drives the same bowler through the covers next ball.
2.26pm - Northeast drives Will Gidman down the ground for a welcome four. This is tough work for the Spitfires batsmen.

2.16pm - WICKET! Key c Roderick b Payne 2; Kent 11/1 - Rob Key tries an ambitious pull at a short Payne ball and gets a top edge through to wicketkeeper Gareth Roderick.
