All-rounder Andrew Salter is still hopeful Glamorgan can gain a positive result from the match after Gloucestershie declared on 399/8 and the Welsh county finished day three on 63/1 with a lead of 106 runs.
"They declared to try to get a couple of wickets and get a bit of momentum, but it seemed a long day out there at times as we tried different plans but the ball got soft and the wicket got flatter as the sun got on it," said Salter
"The morning session is really important, if we can show a good base there, hopefully we can control how the day goes.
Salter is 28 not out overnight after coming in at number three and is relishing the opportunity of batting higher up the order and hopefully carrying on his knock.
"For myself it's just about trying to enjoy the opportunity (of batting at three), knuckle down and do my best after Colin (Ingram) picked up a little niggle in his side, hopefully it's an opportunity I can grasp."
