Sourav Ganguly again failed to shine as Northamptonshire crashed out of the Twenty20 championship, losing to Nottinghamshire by 63 runs.

In a quarter-final match on Monday, Ganguly raced to five runs in as many balls, including a boundary, before being caught by Graeme Swann off Ryan Sidebottom.

Earlier, the Bengal player picked the wicket of New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming (39) while bowling an expensive spell of three overs for 39 runs.

Nottinghamshire, with the help half-centuries from David Hussey (71) and Samit Patel (65), scored 213 for 6. Northants could reach only 150 for the loss of six wickets.

However, it was a happy outing for ace leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who claimed two wickets to help his county Surrey beat Gloucestershire by 80 runs and move into the last four.

Mark Ramprakash (65) and R Clarke (79 not out) pushed Surrey to a formidable total of 224 for five and gave their bowlers enough runs to attack the opponents.

The Surrey bowlers took wickets at regular intervals to keep Gloucestershire on the back foot. Kumble first crashed through the defence of a dangerous-looking Ian Harvey (23) and then removed tail-ender J Averis (10), caught by A Brown, to bring the winning moment for Surrey.

Nayan Doshi, son of former Test spinner Dilip Doshi, was the best Surrey bowler, returning with 4 for 25.
