Lancashire still have an outside chance of qualifying from Group C of the Clydesdale Bank 40 after edging a nail-biter against Gloucestershire by four wickets.
Paul Horton's 97 was the key to victory for the visitors at Cheltenham, with him finishing unbeaten just three runs short of his hundred as Lancashire won with just 11 balls to spare.
Chasing 291 for victory, Lancashire were also indebted to Tom Smith and big-hitting Oliver Newby, who smashed 77 and 35 not out respectively.
But it was Horton's 90-ball innings that made the difference, as the Australian-born batsman blasted Lancashire into contention before finishing off the job.
Alex Gidman, Chris Taylor and Ian Cockbain earlier contributed quick-fire half centuries as Gloucestershire won the toss and posted an imposing 290-4 on a typically flat Cheltenham pitch. |
