OXFORDSHIRE cricketer Jack Taylor was made man-of-the match after helping Gloucestershire beat Surrey by six runs in a thrilling Royal London One-Day Cup final at Lord’s on Saturday.
The 23-year-old, from Great & Little Tew, struck 35 off 26 balls, including hitting two sixes off successive balls from seamer Tom Curren, to help them reach 220.
Surrey appeared to be cruising to victory at 143-2, but then Taylor dismissed both Kumar Sangakarra (60) and Rory Burns (56). He later trapped Curran lbw to finish with 3-43.
He then caught Gareth Batty on the boundary as Surrey were all out for 204 with three balls to spare.
