Gloucestershire saved by rain after Bracey decision

Rain has rescued Gloucestershire in their County Championship match as play was suspended at Bristol. Captain James Bracey explained the decision to bat first, stating: 'We decided to bat first because we think the pitch is going to turn more as the game progresses.' freshyourfeel.org

The tricky weather conditions and pitch being under covers initially helped seamers, but Gloucestershire are confident in their world-class spinner Kai Kishore. 'We want to try and get the best out of him,' Bracey added as the team looks to capitalize on the deteriorating pitch conditions.
