Correct.

Well that makes a nice change.

Final games start today.

Glamorgan, who need to win to overtake Glos, at Durham. Start of that match is delayed due to gloom and tomorrow is forecast for a washout all day. Hopefully Mother Nature does the job for us.

FFS. Our fate rests in the hands of Durham and the weather now. Unbelievable bottle job by our batsmen - we are not going to get any batting bonus points, so a win for Glamorgan looks like it would be enough to overtake us.

Rain at Bristol looks like it will be no more play today.

Two sessions ticked off.

Come on you rain!!!

The game at Bristol won't be completed. They might get another 4 sessions in this week if they're lucky. And I believe that gives us the 8 points we require for promotion?

No play tomorrow but there should be the best part of another 2 days at Durham. Durham 125-3 at the moment, so I'd suggest if they can get 300 that Glamorgan will very much struggle to win the game in under 3 days!

Yes, if our game is not completed that is job done.

182/6 and counting at Chester-le-Street so the Welsh have 2 bonus points and will still fancy all three. Just hope Durham can last still stumps then dig in on day 3.

Rain finally hits at Durham. 262/8. The Welsh creeping towards maximum bowling bonus points, but Watling (104 n/o) and rain doing their duty so far.

I can't see them getting near 450 and winning the game in the time left, unless Durham completely fall apart in the second innings and are out for less than 150. Could happen, but I don't think it's likely.

Ooh yeah! Whilst there was no play at Chester-le-Street today GvB and Charlesworth have taken us from 80/6 to 206/6 and counting. Batting out the season in consummate style.

The Shire are up. What a season.
