Hampshire 214 all out.
Glamorgan 322 ahead and enforce the follow on
The commentators were discussing `whether it’s the first time we’ve made a side follow on in the First Division and they think it probably is.Quote:

Hants 27/2 following on. Superb stuff from the Glammy attack and in stark contrast to Hampshire's bowling which was often short and wide.
Now 112/5 off 41 which Rob Shepherd just said is 268/15 today!
Not many saw that coming I'm sure 👏
Fantastic performanceQuote:

He’s been coaching at Durham for 8 years. Home of 1 Ben stokes. Wonder if he had any influence over the selection……….!!Quote:

200-5. Good fight back. Norton with 2. Surprised mcllroy was dropped after hants.

Somerset 337-9 at the close. Three late wickets give Glamorgan maximum bowling points on a very green looking pitch - it looks like a good score, but if the Cardiff wicket plays true to form, it’ll flatten out from now on.
He’s injured apparently.Quote:

A struggle today, they’ve only just avoided the follow on. Looks like Glamorgan’s have produced a result wicket and it’s worked against them, I’d say that’s because we allowed Somerset to score about a hundred more than they should have.Quote:

Take a bow Tom Norton. A hat trick on debut. Brilliant.
What a moment for the lad. Magnificent.Quote:

31-5, two wickets for Hadley.
32-6 at the close, another wicket for Horton - five ducks in the Somerset innings so far!
Norton is quick.
4 wickets and hit Josh Thomas with a shorter ball.
What a prospect at 18!
From what I’ve seen of the pitch for this match, it has up and down bounce which, unusually, tends to involve more balls leaping off a length than keeping low. Norton has exploited this superbly and has been the most threatening of our bowlers - he also batted in a mature fashion which suggested he’s better than a number ten and, if I remember rightly, he took a superb catch on his one day debut last season.Quote:

Spot on Paul. I only watched a handful of balls on day one but its become clear this is not the standard slow Cardiff track. Perhaps that's why Norton was selected. Certainly not a pitch on which a team should be scoring 354 on.
We need to get Abell out very quickly today.
Anything north of 200 will be a tough ask but again Glammy and proving competitive.
I understand that Norton is the youngest ever player in the entire history of the game to bowl a hat trick on debut. I missed the first two wickets but caught the hat trick ball. Stunning stuff.
Glam defeating themselves here with bizarre last wicket tactics. BrainlessQuote:

It's the hope that kills you!

We're doing well until tea -;then it all started to go Pete Tong 😢
Somerset have got to be favourites, but, judging by the little I saw of today’s play, the pitch has quietened down a fair bit and if it becomes a typical fourth day Cardiff track, we can definitely still win. What concerns me is that it looks like we’re still going to need something like 60 to 80 when the new ball becomes available.
It's going to be tough. If somehow we can conjure up an 80 odd partnership in 24 overs like Hassan and Tribe did against the new ball then we may be in with a shout. That's a big ask. Somerset's seamers we're all on it today and it's not your usual Sophia Gdns road pitch unfortunately.
Weve scored 27 this morning in 20 overs.
Great that we haven't lost a wicket but I'm not sure if playing so defensively is going to end up with a victory.
Hadley has got 18 runs from 120 balls but crucially he’s still there and still plenty of overs to go todayQuote:

Hadley was riding his luck a bit early on but great session from both, playing each ball on its merits, smack the shit ones away.
It's ours to lose now, though definitely not in the bag on a wicket like this.
