Glamorgan fell to an innings and 35 run defeat to Division two leaders Warwickshire on day three at Colwyn Bay.

The Welsh county were bowled out for 265 in their second innings as Jeetan Patel claimed 7/83, despite 49 from Kiran Carlson and a spirited half-century from all-rounder Ruaidhri Smith. 

After the game, Head Coach Robert Croft conceeded that Glamorgan were outplayed over the three days, however there were still a number of positive perfomances from his players. 

"We did well to get to 200 (in the first innings) because their seam attack bowled brilliantly, then we had a terrific opportunity with them on 87-3 (dropping Ian Bell) and Ian Bell went on to score 200," said Croft.

"After that, they got too many runs and their attack today covered all bases with pace and top quality spin, though a lot of our players played encouragingly and really fought.

"There's still over 25% of the Championship season left, there's a lot of points we'll be doing our best to compete for."
