Chris Benham and Nic Pothas fired Hampshire to an unlikely five-wicket victory against Gloucestershire.
The visitors struck an imposing 350-5, Alex Gidman (105) and Marcus North (85) profiting from generous bowling, before rain reduced the target to 240 from 30.
In reply, Michael Carberry top-scored with 60 but it looked beyond the Hawks as the run-rate approached 12 an over.
But Benham (54 not out) and Pothas (43) made the chase look easy as they blazed to the target with three balls left.
