Glamorgan started the final day on 131-3 after Northeast and Ingram had survived the final session on day three. They serenely added a further 83 in the morning sunshine with few alarms, as Leicestershire were left ruing Rehan Ahmed’s inability to bowl because of a side strain which is set to rule him out of...
Leicestershire began day three on 389-3 but the new ball was available in the second over, with James Harris and Timm van der Gugten quickly getting rid of night-watchman Chris Wright for 19 and Lewis Hill for 70, both caught at slip by Colin Ingram.

Tribe started brightly with a string of boundaries...
Roy’s colleagues could not match his strike-rate as Ollie Pope fell early to Douthwaite and Dom Sibley, opening out on 26 after a slow start, gave Gorvin another catch in the deep off Ben Kellaway. The 12th over from Gorvin proved eventful as Roy hoisted the first ball over long-on into the river Taff, only...

Resuming on 389-7 with Kellaway on 91 and the battle for bonus points the other immediate concern, the Chepstow youngster was happy to take his time over reaching three figures, achieved with a stylish cover drive for three off Kashif Ali.

Kent, who also had Zak Crawley withdrawn by England, gave a debut to all-rounder Ekansh Singh, 18, among three changes while Glamorgan welcomed back experienced seamer James Harris after injury.
