Champions!

Warwickshire claimed the final 2 bonus points they needed in the morning session to take the Division Two title. Fittingly perhaps it was Chris Woakes who helped in no small part in claiming the last 2 bonus points needed.

After a solid partnership yesterday evening Tim Ambrose and Neil Carter could only add another 22 runs to their overnight score of 270/7 before they were both dismissed in quick succession. This left the last wicket pair of Woakes and Rankin 8 runs to make for a 3rd batting point, they in fact managed to take the score onto 315, before Woakes was dismissed.

Then taking the new ball along with Carter, with only 3 wickets needed for the title Woakes made it look easy. He first had Rees caught in the covers, bowled Maynard and finally got Powell caught in the slips. Glamorgan 26-3; Woakes 5-0-23-3, and the pennant heading to Edgbaston.

There was further drama before lunch as Rankin and Carter got in on the act, Carter ripping Watkin's offstump from the ground and sending it cartwheeling back, and Woakes picked up another to leave Glamorgan reeling at 43-6, 123 short of the follow-on target. However a determined partnership between Croft and Dalrymple steadied the ship and ensured Warwickshire would not have it all their own way. It was also cue for Maddy to start shuffling the pack like a croupier with attention defict disorder. It eventually worked and after a reprive for Croft on 11, he was eventually dimissed by Trott, to leave Glamorgan 16 short of the follow-on at 149-7.

Could we finally witness a win at Edgbaston this year?
