Despite rain interference every day, the Welsh county remains strongly-placed to press hard for victory on the final day. <\/p>\n
Bamber’s all-round performance, meanwhile, will no doubt have been noted by England’s selectors, and also those involved in the search for the new James Bond which began this week.<\/p>\n
After Warwickshire resumed on the third morning on 123-6, the follow-on became a real threat after they lost the big wicket of Beau Webster, caught low at first slip by Ingram off Norton. <\/p>\n
That left the last three wickets with 69 to find, but the first of them, Bamber and Thompson, did the job in belligerent fashion. The follow-on figure was passed in grand manner when Bamber heaved Zain-ul-Hassan over long on for his third six.<\/p>\n
When Bamber sought a similar blow off Ben Kellaway in the next over he found only long on, but Thompson advanced to his first half-century for Warwickshire (58 balls). The impressive Norton finally ended the innings by removing Thompson and Olly Hannon-Dalby in three balls.<\/p>\n
Glamorgan negotiated six overs before lunch unscathed but met a Bamber blitz immediately after the rain-extended interval. <\/p>\n
The seamer struck with his first, sixth and seventh balls of the session as ul-Hassan (bagging a pair), Kiran Carlson and Asa Tribe edged full-length outswingers into the cordon. Suddenly, Glamorgan were 13-3 – 121 in front – and this captivating contest had evened up again.<\/p>\n
Kellaway and Ingram stalled the Bears’ fightback with a partnership of 92 in 28 overs before the irrepressible Bamber returned to have the former caught at slip.<\/p>\n
Glamorgan’s control was underlined in the last hour, though, as Ingram advanced to an 81-ball half-century and added 83 with Sean Dickson (39) who fell lbw to Ed Barnard late on. But the last day is Glamorgan’s to dictate.<\/p>\n
