Gloucestershire piled up 402-6 declared but Glamorgan edged the bonus-points battle as their rain-hit match at Cheltenham petered out into a draw. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Chris Dent hit 113 and Ollie Price 84 while there were also half-centuries for Miles Hammond and James Bracey.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Glamorgan made 62-0 in their token second innings as the home side needed to improve their over-rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a day and a half lost to rain, there was no agreement on declarations and a potential run-chase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitch Swepson (3-142) was Glamorgan’s most successful bowler.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ground staff worked hard to ensure a prompt start after heavy overnight rain, and after a quiet start Dent and Price got the runs flowing with relatively few alarms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Price reached a measured 50 off 123 balls but nearly played on to Andy Gorvin just after.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stand reached an imposing 171 by the time Price, who struck 16 fours, was caught behind cutting at Swepson off the seventh ball of his over, having delivered a no-ball.<\/span><\/p>\n

County stalwart Dent reached the 21st century of his Gloucestershire career off 190 balls in a chanceless effort, and it came as a surprise when he clipped Zain Ul Hassan to James Harris at mid-wicket.<\/span><\/p>\n

Teenage debutant Joe Phillips hit three assured boundaries before being bowled by Gorvin with the new ball for 17, while Gorvin was warned for running on the pitch shortly afterwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hammond was typically aggressive early on as he enjoyed a good battle of wits with Swepson, making 57 before chipping Harris to mid-wicket as the home side eyed batting points. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tom Price was leg-before to Swepson for 17, but captain Bracey made 60 not out to secure the fourth batting point.<\/span><\/p>\n

Farcically Gloucestershire had to come out for three balls to get the last two runs needed after tea, after Bracey and Zafar Gohar only ran a single for a shot they thought was going for four, and to add to the absurdity, Glamorgan wicketkeeper Chris Cooke bowled the last over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gloucestershire needed to overcome a net over-rate of minus four to avoid being docked points, so David Lloyd and Ul Hassan notched up the runs as the hosts rattled through the necessary overs in a meaningless session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glamorgan have a very short turnaround before starting at Derby on Tuesday, 25 July, while Gloucestershire continue the Cheltenham Festival against Worcestershire the following day, without Ben Charlesworth, who has a calf injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
