Gloucestershire 212 for (Klinger 95*, Cockbain 69*) beat Essex 182 (Howell 3-28) 30 runsScorecard Michael Klinger hit 95 as Gloucestershire closed in on a home tie in the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals with a 30-run South Group victory over Essex at Cheltenham. Cordy Glenn Jersey .The group leaders posted 212 for 1 on the small College Ground, Klinger receiving excellent support from Hamish Marshall and Ian Cockbain, whose unbeaten 65 came off just 35 balls.In reply, Essex made 182 for 9, Dan Lawrence top-scoring with 35 and Benny Howell taking 3 for 28 from his four overs.The result took Gloucestershire to 19 points from 13 games, while Essex remain on ten with work to do in their final four group fixtures to reach the knockout stage.Marshall, in his final Cheltenham Festival before leaving Gloucestershire at the end of the season, was the initial aggressor in an opening stand of 75 with Klinger that occupied 8.4 overs.Marshall had faced 28 balls, hitting seven boundaries when driving a return catch to Ravi Bopara. It was the only Essex success as Cockbain joined Klinger in an unbroken partnership of 137 in 11.2 overs, which delighted the 5,000 sell-out crowd.Klinger reached his half-century with a reverse sweep for four off Bopara, having faced 41 deliveries, but it was Cockbain, who produced the more explosive hitting.The consistent No. 3 batsman hit the first six of the game off Ashar Zaidi and went on to smash three more maximums and 6 fours, reaching his half-century off just 28 balls.Essex were unable to protect the short boundaries on both sides of the pitch as Klinger began to match his partner shot for shot. By the end of the innings the Gloucestershire captain had hit 13 fours and two sixes in his 57-ball knock.The visitors reply began badly when Matt Taylor bowled Kishen Velani for a duck in the first over and followed up by having Tom Westley caught at mid-wicket off a miscued pull shot with the total on 18 at the end of the third over.Nick Browne hit a big six over midwicket off Liam Norwell, but the Essex woes continued when Bopara was caught at short third-man off Howell and Ryan ten Doeschate was run out by Klingers throw to the wicketkeeper as Browne attempted a quick single to mid-wicket.It looked a very close call and ten Doeschate stood still for several second before angrily swishing his bat and walking off. At the end of the six-over Powerplay the visitors were 46 for 4.Browne was caught at deep mid-wicket off Howell to make it 58 for 5 in the eighth over. At the halfway stage of their innings Essex still required 131.Lawrence, dropped on 21, looked dangerous until, on 36, he lofted Graeme van Buurens left-arm spin to Cockbain at long-on. And when Zaidi was bowled by Howell aiming a big hit it was 122 for 7, with the contest as good as over. O. J.

BELLEFONTE, Pa. -- A man who says he was the boy observed being sexually abused by Jerry Sandusky in a Penn State shower more than 15 years ago gave conflicting statements to authorities and was considered to lack credibility, investigators said during an appeal hearing Monday.The man has settled with Penn State based on a claim that he is Victim 2 and was seen by graduate assistant Mike McQueary being attacked by Sandusky, then an assistant football coach, in 2001. The man gave differing statements to Sanduskys lawyers and to police investigators, according to testimony, and neither side called him to the stand during the 2012 trial.The identity of Victim 2, and the mans claim to be Victim 2, figures into Sanduskys bid for a new trial or to have charges dismissed because of a reference during lead prosecutor Joe McGettigans closing argument before a jury convicted Sandusky of 45 counts of abuse involving 10 victims.McGettigan told jurors there were others unknown to us, to others presently known to God but not to us. The appeals hearing is Sanduskys chance to prove his claim that McGettigan was referring to Victim 2 and so he knew that statement was false.The man who claims to be Victim 2 contacted Sanduskys then-lawyer, Joe Amendola, soon after Sandusky was first charged in November 2011 and gave a statement saying he was in the shower that night but had not been abused. He had also made a similar denial of abuse to investigators in September 2011, testified Cpl. Joseph Leiter, a retired state police investigator.But he subsequently hired attorney Andrew Shubin, who testified Monday on the second day of the hearing that he believes his client is Victim 2 and was raped by Sandusky, who was in court. He is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.Asked if he had aany doubts, Shubin said he was not sure how to answer that. Custom Buffalo Bills Jerseys. . But he said the man is his client and he would not represent anyone he did not believe.Shubin declined to answer when asked whether he ever tried to hide the mans whereabouts from police and prosecutors, citing attorney-client privilege.I have never spoken about that issue and never waived that privilege, Shubin testified.Anthony Sassano, an agent with the attorney generals office, testified that he heard from someone -- he said he wasnt sure whom -- that the man was hidden at hunting camp somewhere so we couldnt find him to interview him.Sassano said that the man contradicted himself to agents when asked if he ever told anyone of abuse and that his drawing of the locker room where he claims to have been seen by McQueary did not fit the actual Lasch Building locker room.That led me to believe he was never in that particular locker room, Sassano testified.Prosecutors did not find the man credible, Sassano said.I dont know if they formed their opinion off my opinion or they had their own separate opinion, Sassano said. We all arrived at the same conclusion.Testimony on Monday also delved into claims of improper leaks of material from the grand jury that investigated Sandusky before he was charged. The hearing is expected to conclude Tuesday.Sandusky testified during the first day of the hearing and strongly denied his guilt. He has already lost direct appeals to the states Supreme and Superior courts and is now seeking relief under the Post-Conviction Relief Act that is confined to newly discovered evidence, constitutional violations and ineffective lawyering.
