Gloucestershire progress halted by rain

Gloucestershire 174 for d1 (53 overs). Porterfield 74, Marshall 94.

Rain has stopped play, much to the batsmen's irritation. They were ticking along serenely and have already set a new Gloucestershire second-wicket record against Warwickshire. Porterfield and Marshall have so far added 172, eclipsing the previous best of 148 by Alf Dipper and Harry Smith at Cheltenham in 1922 and Matt Windows and Tim Hancocks in 1996.

This could be a sizeable stoppage. Quite heavy.
