Glamorgan v Leicestershire, Day 3, Colwyn Bay, 18/08/11

Glamorgan had built a lead of 229 with 6 wickets left by the close of Day 3 at Colwyn Bay, thereby setting up an intriguing final day of the Championship match.

This was due to Leicestershire declaring on 309 for 7, seemingly as a result of some back room collusion between the captains. The total included an excellent unbeaten 127 from England prospect James Taylor.

In response, Glamorgan had moved onto 146/4 second time around largely due to Will Bragg's 67 not out.

Glamorgan v Leicestershire, Day 2, Colwyn Bay, 17/08/11

Despite rain preventing any play after tea, Glamorgan continued to have the upper hand of their County Championship clash with Leicestershire.

This was due to some spirited tail end wagging from James Harris 31, Rob Croft 31, Dean Cosker 39 and Will Owen 26no, then being followed up with 3 wickets from Harris and one from Cosker reducing the visitors to 140/4 by the premature close.
