Surrey are staying on the road as they head down to Bristol for their next Metro Bank One Day Cup assignment against Gloucestershire on Friday.
The day-night match at Seat Unique Stadium is due to start at 2pm.
Rory Burns’ side will be aiming to bounce back from the loss in Birmingham and claim their third win in what will be their fifth outing in the competition tomorrow.
Gloucestershire opened their account in their previous game against Kent, having lost the first two matches to Leicestershire and Somerset respectively.
HOW CAN I KEEP UP WITH THE MATCH?
The match starts at 2pm and will be broadcast live on Gloucestershire’s YouTube channel, with a link placed on Surrey’s Match Centre. The Club’s social media channels will also provide regular updates and share match clips throughout the game.
A report and highlights will be published on the Kia Oval website after the conclusion of the match.
SQUAD
Ollie Sykes has been released to play by MI London for this fixture. Due to injuries, Surrey have also brought in left-arm seaming all-rounder Hishaam Khan on a short-term One Day Cup contract to add cover to their depleted seam attack.
Khan, 26, is from the South Asian Cricket Academy (SACA) and has previously represented Worcestershire in List A cricket. He has also played Second XI cricket for multiple counties.

Previewed by Richard Latham – ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay
Captain: Jack Taylor
2025 position: Quarter-finals
2025 most runs: James Bracey (572)
2025 most wickets: Matt Taylor (14)
Why they can win the competition: Gloucestershire do not lose any players to The Hundred so, with the exception of overseas signings Liam Scott and D’Arcy Short, they will be able to field the players who got to the quarters in the Vitality Blast this summer.
Player to watch: Tommy Boorman has developed through Gloucestershire’s age groups and, at 21, has now represented the club in all formats of the domestic game. His unbeaten 33 saw them to victory over Leicestershire in last season’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
Young gun: Kamran Dhariwal smashed a 13-ball half-century in the recent Vitality Blast group game against Worcestershire. The 21-year-old product of the South Asian Cricket Academy is studying medicine at Bristol University but looks to have a bright future as a cricketer.
Final thought: Gloucestershire reeled off six group wins in succession at the start of last summer’s Metro Bank One-Day Cup before losing the next two and their quarter-final. They like the format and are keen to build on their Vitality T20 Blast form that saw them reach the quarter-finals of that competition.
