4th day

Glamorgan secured a 114-run victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol even though they contrived to drop Hamish Marshall five times on his way to a hundred. Gloucestershire, set 315 off a minimum of 80 overs, slid to 76 for 5 before Marshall and Steve Snell put on 114 for the sixth wicket. The game appeared to be heading to a draw but Robert Croft (3 for 39) and Jason Gillespie (3 for 39) ripped through the tail as five wickets fell for 10 runs. In the morning, Matthew Wood (83*) and David Hemp (72) extended Glamorgan's second innings to 178 for 1 against occasional bowlers.

Matt Boyce scored his maiden first-class hundred as Leicestershire's game with Warwickshire at Edgbaston petered out in a draw. Resuming on 121 for 1, Leicestershire used the day for batting practice, with Boyce leading the way with 106. With HD Ackerman, who made his 11th Championship hundred, he added 182 for the second wicket while Ian Salisbury finished with 5 for 67 on his home debut.

3rd day

Worcestershire enjoyed the best of the day against Northamptonshire at Northampton where they amassed 400 for 8, a first-innings lead of 232, against a fairly toothless bowling attack. Kabir Ali (46), Gareth Batty (37) and Steve Davies (31) helped add 148 for the last five wickets. Northamptonshire wobbled in reply, before Nicky Boje and David Sales steered them to 161 for 2 by the close.
