A collapse to 353 all out, at least they managed to get a third batting point off the last ball of the 110th over.

Leics galloping along at 5 an over. Only 1 down. Worried!
Glamorgan’s worst day of their season so far - got to credit Leicestershire though, they’re looking an outstanding team at this level.
Derbyshire well on the way to victory as well.
I’d given up on this game after our awful second day and the third one wasn’t much better, but Northeast and Ingram have batted through the first session and we’re 9 behind Leicestershire now at 214-3 - Northeast 118 and Ingram 72. The new ball is due in five overs and if we can survive that without too much damage, we could escape with a draw.
You don’t get too many sides declaring and setting targets these days, but, after being miles behind over the first half of the game, Gloucestershire have declared and set Derbyshire 316 to win in two sessions.
Shame that Northeast threw his wicket away in the end (Kent trying to sign Northeast for next season, by the way. I wonder if that's why he wasn't considered for the T20, or whether it prompted him to look elsewhere).
You'd like to think they've got enough to bat until 5pm to secure the draw though.
Match drawn, Glamorgan 342-6 withIngram batting throughout the day for 133 not out. Good result in the end considering how far behind they were this time yesterday.
Derbyshire need 100 with six wickets standing.
Tense finish at Bristol where Derbyshire need 38 to win with three wickets left and nine overs to go.
GLOUCS v DERBYSHIRE 20 to win of 6 balls
Match Drawn
Derbyshire move a point further in front of us then. They drawn two games with eight wickets down and had nine down against us - our failure to get the win in that game looks potentially very expensive.
What a game for the second team!

I 've mentioned before on here about a second XI game in 1997 when Warwickshire set Somerset 612 to win. Somerset got to 595-7 then Marcus Trescothick was run out for 322 and Somerset were bowled out for 605 to lose by six runs.
I think that innings was a turning point for Trescothick at Somerset so he's probably got fond memories of it now but it must've been a bit of a sickener at the time.
I’m sure there was a Glamorgan v Somerset game at Swansea in the nineties where Trescothick batted at 8 and was in the side mainly as a medium pace bowler. I think there was another Glamorgan v Somerset where Trescothick so impressed then Glamorgan coach Duncan Fletcher that he was more or less straight into the England team when Fletcher took over from Bumble Lloyd.
The second one was a knock of 167 at Taunton. There's an article here about the innings that shaped his career and the 322 and that 167 are the first two mentioned.

I'd forgotten about his bowling but it rings a bell, I'd also forgotten he kept wicket for England in a few ODIs.
We lose Asa tribe for 4 day game starting Sunday and at least the next 4 blast games. Selected in jersey squad for t20WC euro qualifiers. Disappointing.
Tribe’s in the squad for tomorrow.

glam choose to field first
90-1 at lunch, he didn’t produce great figures for us, but I reckon we’re missing Fernando.
Better afternoon session for Glamorgan, Gloucestershire 156-5 at tea.
They can’t get the 7th wicket. So frustrating!
Good day I feel. I know we put them in but 7 wickets on a warm day with the kookaburra ball is positive - if we can knock the tail over. Shame about the 7th wicket stand. But it is now broken.
this tail is annoying 348-9
Bloody bracey. He of the ridiculous tied match
Theres some massive team and individual scores around the country. Hopefully we can do something similar and bat for nearly 2 days.
Worcestershire have 2 guys reach 200 in their innings, whilst Dom Sibley has 300 for Surrey. He's alot better now than he was when playing for England previously, and probably deserving of a recall. Just unfortunate that Crawley has hit form again when he needed to.
128-4.
Derbyshire 106 behind on first innings against Lancashire and we’re not taking advantage of that.
228 for 4 close of play, Glam Trail by 1562 runs with 6 wickets in hand
Ingram and Kellaway have put on a hundred to get the game back to even Steven’s and while you can take nothing for granted with the Kookaburra ball, both of the top two are really struggling at the halfway point of their games. It’s going to be tough, but if Glamorgan could find a way to win, it could be so important in their season.
Cracking Partnership by Kellaway and Ingram , after both starting slowly they got along at a decent rate aswell. Good first hour tomorrow from them and we should be into good bonus point territory.
Ingram and Kellaway past their hundreds, 339-4.
