SUNLG: Glamorgan v Warwickshire, Cardiff, 23 July 1995

Warwickshire dented Glamorgan`s hopes of consolidating at the top
of  the table and put themselves into contention with another ex-
emplary performance at Sophia Gardens yesterday.

After losing their first three games Warwickshire have reeled off
seven successive wins and are well placed to retain the second of
the three trophies they won last season.

At 162 for four, with six overs remaining, Glamorgan were in con-
trol,  but  accurate bowling and brilliant fielding, backed up by
Dermot Reeve`s astute captaincy, thwarted their efforts.

The Welsh county lost their last six wickets for only 20 runs  as
Reeve  and  Neil Smith, who was entrusted with eight of the final
16  overs,  forced  Glamorgan`s   batsmen    into  indiscretions.
Warwickshire  had  been  in  trouble at 108 for six but some ill-
directed bowling towards the end of their innings yielded 45 runs
from four overs, including 15 from Hamesh Anthony`s final over.

Warwickshire, who were put in,  were  given  a  brisk  start  and
although  Neil  Smith was out in the 10th over, Nick Knight (80),
celebrating his England call-up, and Dominic Ostler added 45   in
eight overs.

However, at 89 for one, after Warwickshire had laid  the  founda-
tion  of  a substantial total, Robert Croft and Steve Barwick in-
duced the mid-innings collapse.
