County Championship: Akhter burst gives Glos victory chance despite Ingram ton


Gloucestershire’s Zaman Akhter told BBC Radio Bristol:

“Definitely a tired body at the minute, we bowled pretty well for a day and a half there and the rewards came in a little clump at the back end.

“The one to get Cooke was nice, and we knew as a unit we could come pretty hard at them then, Aj (Singh Dale) and me. To get all 10 (wickets) was a really good effort on that pitch.

“Enforcing the follow-on has put us in a good place to win the game, they’ve had a decent stint with the bat but we can come at them nice and fresh again.”

Glamorgan’s Colin Ingram told BBC Sport Wales:

“It’s always nice to spend time in the middle, though it wasn’t one of my prettier ones and it was really tough going in the morning, but I really enjoyed the partnership with Chris Cooke to get back into the swing of things.

“The longer we went on, we started to stretch them and we wanted to tire their seamers out, but they kept coming at us.

“(Ul Hassan and Byrom) played beautifully, they looked to score when they had the opportunities to shrink the deficit, and we’ve given ourselves a great shot at dragging ourselves into the game though the pitch has been more lively than we anticipated.”
