Opener Kadeer Ali scored his second fifty of the match as Gloucestershire's Division Two clash with Glamorgan ended in a predictable draw in Bristol.

Kadeer followed the 53 he made on Friday with an unbeaten 67 as the home side reached 168-2 before bad light prematurely ended play.

Glamorgan seamers James Harris and David Harrison claimed a wicket apiece.

Gloucestershire's 11 point haul keeps them third, while seventh-placed Glamorgan remain winless in 2009.

Resuming on 19-0 on the final morning, Gloucestershire had no desire to score quick runs in order to set the Welsh side a target to chase, and seemed happy to settle for a draw.
