This is the first time in this T20 Blast that a match has been abandoned. Both the teams,  Gloucestershire and Essex will be getting one-one point each for this game. So, this takes us to the end of today's game. Myself Ansh Mishra signing off from this match alongside my co-commentator Tugral Azmi and our Scorer/Analyst Suresh Kumawat. We will see you in the next game. Until then it's a goodbye.
12.00 AM IST | There is a news from the center that the game between Gloucestershire and Essex has been abandoned due to rain. 
12.00 AM IST| OH-NO!! There is no good news, it is raining heavily in Bristol right now and the whole ground is covered with covers. God's mood is not looking good today for cricket folks. The whole sky is covered with dark clouds and it has become dark enough. Umbrellas are visible all around the ground, which tells us the rain is here to stay. But Hang on before you leave! You can watch other matches on our site.
10.45 PM IST| It will take more time for the toss and start of the game. Now the entire Bristol County Ground has been covered. The audience will have to wait a little longer for this match to start because god has started the rain again in Bristol. Stay tuned for further updates!!
10.20 PM IST| Unfortunately, It had rained heavily in Bristol which would have caused the toss to be delayed a bit later and the ground staff was trying to dry the outfield right now. The covers are on at the moment but we’ll keep you up to date. Stay Tuned!!
Head-To-Head:

Matches played: 17
Gloucestershire Won: 4
Essex Won: 7
Pitch Report: The pitch at County Ground, Bristol has been a decent batting track. Gloucestershire had posted 193 runs when they played Sussex here and the pitch is expected to produce another high-scoring match. The bowlers will want to change their line and lengths to reduce the scoring rate. Skipper winning the toss might prefer to chase.
10.20 PM IST| Gloucestershire will be up against Essex in the 37th match of England's T20 Blast 2022 at County Ground in Bristol.

Gloucestershire has made a good start to their campaign so far this edition, winning two of their first four matches. Gloucestershire has won both these matches at their home ground. They beat Sussex in the first match of this edition and then in their last match at home by defeating the previous edition's winner.

David Payne registered the best bowling figures (4-1-15-4) of his career in the previous match against Kent. Due to this Gloucestershire stopped Kent’s chariot for only 114 runs. Glenn Phillips played a fine inning for Gloucestershire with an unbeaten half-century and a six-wicket win over Kent, Gloucestershire is fifth on the points table behind Glamorgan in terms of NRR.

On the other hand, Essex could not continue their winning streak and a disappointing performance last night saw them suffer a six-wicket loss against Glamorgan. The three Essex top order batters could no do much during the powerplay and returned cheaply to the pavilion, but Mathew Critchley and Paul Walter took the reins in their hands and tried to take over Essex’s innings. Together they shared a partnership of 58 runs, as soon as Walter got out and returned to the pavilion, the entire team collapsed on 113 runs. Critchley shone with the ball as well, with figures of 1 for 17 in four overs, but could not make much of a difference as the hosts won the game quite easily at the end by six wickets.

Both the teams will meet today at 10.30 PM in Bristol. A total of five t20 have been played at Gloucestershire’s home ground, with Essex winning three matches compared to Gloucester and Glocs winning only one match. Stick with our live coverage. Stay Tuned!!
