We are playing with confidence, says Miles, after another Glos win

GLOUCESTERSHIRE maintained their 100 per cent record in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup with a six-wicket derby victory over Worcestershire at New Road.

Jack Taylor's side ended their opponents’ unbeaten record after restricting them to 237-8 with an excellent display with the ball. Josh Shaw set the tone with an opening spell of 6-3-6-0 on his way to 10-3-27-1 as six Rapids’ batters reached 25 but none made it to 40.

As the pitch eased for batting, Gloucestershire advanced comfortably to 240-4 with 43 balls to spare. The only century stand of the match, from Oliver Price (66, 77 balls) and Ben Charlesworth (50, 57 balls), proved decisive before skipper Taylor saw his side to victory with an unbeaten 50 (36 balls), posting his half-century with the winning runs.
