Overview

• Miles Hammond and D’Arcy Short were forced off the pitch at 8:15 PM local time when low-angle sunlight blinded them during Gloucestershire’s chase.
• The delay lasted eight minutes with the score at 29/0 after 3.2 overs until visibility improved for the batters.
• Kent Spitfires had set a target of 158 after posting 157/9 in their 20 overs, bolstered by 42 from Harry Finch and 38 from Sam Billings.
• Skipper Jack Taylor scored 54 off 36 balls and Oliver Price added 41 off 31 deliveries as Gloucestershire wrapped up the chase in 18.2 overs with seven wickets in hand.
• Similar 'sun stops play' incidents occurred at Napier’s McLean Park in 2019 and 2020 when low sun angles disrupted batters’ sight lines.
