Gloucestershire v Glamorgan, Day 3, Cheltenham, 010810

Glamorgan closed out a superb 176 run victory over Gloucestershire at Cheltenham to regain 2nd place in Championship Division 2.

.

Resuming overnight at 283 for 7, Glamorgan added 88 in 21 overs in the morning session, largely due to a superb 113 from Mark Wallace. This set Gloucestershire a target of 345, pretty unlikely as none of their batsman has scored a century this season.

.

'Wally' takes the plaudits of the Cheltenham crowd, having scored 185 runs in the match

.

A badly out of touch Jonathan Batty watched closely from point by Mark Cosgrove.

The Gloucestershire tail was polished off by the unstoppable Robert Croft who secured his first career hattrick with victims #9 Banerjee, #10 Hussain and #11 Kirby. Great stuff and a fine win to end an excellent 3 days.
