Elliott takes Glamorgan clear at the top

As more rain swept the country only the matches at Cardiff and Headingley started promptly, but eventually three more games got under way as well - only Surrey's match against Hampshire was completely abandoned, although Essex and Warwickshire could only squeeze in a 10-over thrash.

Glamorgan took advantage of Hampshire's inactivity to go top of Division One after their third win in three outings, while in Division Two Leicestershire also lead the way with a 100% record after three matches. The batting star of the day was Matthew Elliott, who stroked 112 not out from 116 balls - and put on 169 with Matthew Maynard - as Glamorgan overhauled Northamptonshire's handy total with 5.1 overs to spare.

Essex 89 for 2 (Flower 40*, Hussain 40*) beat Warwickshire 83 for 6 by 6 runs at Chelmsford
