Warwickshire made light work of Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens on Tuesday, posting 391-391 to win by 257 runs in the County Championship Division 1. The hosts managed just 134 all out before being bowled out cheaply on the opening day. Warwickshire's bowlers found answers quickly, with the game effectively over by tea on the first day.
The visitors have now won five of their six matches this season, sitting second in Division 1 with 184 points. Glamorgan, meanwhile, remain in sixth place with 127 points after eight games, their record showing three wins and five defeats. The margin of victory reflects exactly what the table suggests.
Glamorgan's recent form has been inconsistent. They beat Worcester by three runs last month but lost heavily to Somerset and Hampshire in their previous two fixtures. Against Warwickshire, they found no answer to the visitors' pace attack. The home side's batting collapsed early, giving Warwickshire's bowlers plenty of room to work with.
Warwickshire's away record this season has been strong. They beat Somerset by 129 runs and held on grimly against Sussex in a one-run thriller. Against Glamorgan, they pulled off a comprehensive performance that kept the tourists firmly on course for the top two. The visitors need just one more win to guarantee a place in the final four.
