    Glamorgan number eight Graham Wagg plays out a maiden from spinner Jake Libby.

    Oliver Hannon-Dalby sees off the four balls remaining in Ryan Higgins' over.

    Warwickshire survive - for now. We have 15 overs remaining at Bristol.

    Game RIGHT back on at New Road!

    Dan Douthwaite plays back at one from spinner Jake Libby when he should have been forward. Hit on the back leg, out.

    Worcestershire need four wickets in 10 overs.

    WICKET

    Cullen lbw b Morris 17 (Worcs v Glamorgan 125-5, target 358)

    Hello... maybe there is a bit of life left in the game at New Road.

    Charlie Morris bends one in to Tom Cullen and he's given out lbw. It looked like it might have been going down leg, but Worcestershire won't care.

    Five wickets to get, 12 overs remain.

    Mark Meyrick: Gloucs doing their best NOT to win this with four men on the boundary. Warks eight down and not a chance of reaching the target

  7. Gloucestershire v Warks 129-8 (target 239)

    Warwickshire number 10 Craig Miles is digging in nicely for the Bears.

    Only Oliver Hannon-Dalby left to come in for the visitors. With a first-class average of 7.33 the Bears' number 11 truly is a walking wicket.

    18 overs to go.

  8. Worcs v Glamorgan 118-4 (target 358)

    It's not happening for the Pears. Daryl Mitchell has bowled a couple of fruitless overs, Charlie Morris is steaming in from the other end still... 14 overs left.

  9. Gloucestershire v Warks 122-8 (target 239)

    Ryan Higgins returns to the attack alongside Matt Taylor.

    Five dots and then a loosener. Tim Bresnan smashes him for four.

    Less than 120 balls remaining in the game now.

    Steve Dean: Hope I'm wrong but surely Worcs batted on too long? Six more wickets is probably outta reach. Need a match winning burst from captain Leach.

  12. Worcs v Glamorgan 112-4 (target 358)

    It's all gone a bit flat for Worcestershire in the last half-hour.

    Time for a bit of medium pace from Daryl Mitchell... maybe he'll have the golden arm?

    Chris Cooke is still looking in fine touch on 58. 17 overs remain.

  13. Gloucestershire v Warks 110-8 (target 239)

    Dot ball, Bresnan survives.

    What an over that was for Matt Taylor and Gloucestershire. They require two more wickets to win and have just under 22 overs left to find them.

  14. Gloucestershire v Warks 110-8 (target 239)

    Tim Bresnan gets a single off George Scott's over at the other end.

    He'll face Matt Taylor who's on a hat-trick...

  15. wicket

    WICKET

    Brookes lbw b M Taylor 0 (Gloucestershire v Warks 109-8 - target 239)

    Two in two!

    Matt Taylor ends the over by trapping new man Henry Brookes on the pads for a golden duck.

    He's on a hat-trick. Warwickshire in all sorts of trouble!

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Thomson c J Taylor b M Taylor 3 (Gloucestershire v Warks 109-7 - target 239)

    The change works! Matthew Taylor has his man!

    Alex Thomson gets impatient and pulls to Jack Taylor on the square leg boundary.

    Silly shot, and Gloucestershire can sense victory.

  17. Gloucestershire v Warks 109-6 (target 239)

    Matt Taylor comes into the attack for Gloucestershire. Four singles come off his first over.

    Taylor replaced Ryan Higgins whose figures of 5-19 surpass his first-class best of 5-21.

    I expect Higgins to bowl a few more before the end of the day though. He was on fire earlier.

    Just 24 overs left. Gloucestershire need four wickets.

  18. Worcs v Glamorgan 108-4 (target 358)

    Glamorgan take nine off Brett D'Oliveira's over, including a couple of boundaries for Tom Cullen, to bring up their 100.

    Time is running out for Worcestershire to get the six wickets they need - 20 overs left.

  19. 50 runs

    for Cooke

    Worcs v Glamorgan 93-4 (target 358)

    Captain's innings from Chris Cooke.

    The Glamorgan wicketkeeper brings up his half-century off 78 balls with a 10th boundary - a lovely drive off spinner Jake Libby.

    22 overs remain in the Worcester sunshine, the home county need six wickets. It's a tough ask.

  20. wicket

    WICKET

    Burgess lbw b Higgins 15 (Gloucestershire v Warks 101-6 - target 239)

    Five-for for Ryan Higgins!

    Just after bringing up the 100 for Warwickshire with a four down to third man, Michael Burgess falls lbw for 15.

    Higgins now has 5-19 and this match has suddenly roared into life.

    Gloucestershire need four wickets to win. They have 27 overs left.
