Starting the day at 59-1, still trailing Worcestershire by 40 runs, Gloucestershire’s hopes of salvaging a draw were dashed as the innings dramatically collapsed from 81-1 to 112-7. Cameron Bancroft fought valiantly, scoring 56 runs to stabilize the innings, but the visitors struggled against the probing left-arm spin of Fateh Singh, who claimed 5-74.
