The abandonment of Glamorgan`s match at Worcester on Sunday, plus Durham`s nail-biting defeat by Essex, means that Glamorgan are on the verge of winning Division Two of the Norwich Union National League.

As the table below shows, Glamorgan have a six point lead at the top of the table, still with two games to play, including Tuesday`s floodlit match against Sussex at Hove.

Durham`s defeat put an end to their hopes of winning the division, and Worcestershire are now the only other county who could win the Division Two title. But for this to happen they would have to win their last two games by a very substantial margin and significantly improve their run rate, and at the same time hope that Glamorgan dramatically lose their games with Sussex and Middlesex by a very wide margin, so that their run rate drops.

A win, tie or washout under the floodlights at Hove would settle the matter and clinch the Division Two title for Glamorgan.
