Sussex looking on their way to defeat at 160-7.
Come on then glammy. Real test today against a very good side.
Charlie Hemphrey is missing from this game because his wife is expecting a baby, so Owen Morgan moves up to open with Nick Selman - decent start for Glamorgan on 33-0 after being put in to bat.
There's a live stream of the game here if anyone's interested;-

I switched on the England game and saw Bairstow out to the second ball I watched and then Selman went to the first ball I saw as I started watching Glamorgan after lunch - it's been happening to me all season, if you're in the field struggling to make a breakthrough, all you got to do is call me and I'll take a wicket for you in no time!
Glamorgan 183-2.
290-2 Labuschagne 105, Lloyd 66 and looking good for maximum batting points, but is this shaping up to be another Cardiff road like the one we had against Northants?
[QUOTE=jon1959;4983572]I was listening and feeling very happy and comfortable.
I went away to make a mug of tea - and came back to a batting collapse! 295-5 FFS!
Where did that come from?[/QUOT
And then Lloyd out right at the death. Need another 100 from last 4 tomorrow. 450 always a reasonable 1st innings total. Disappointing finish but decent day overall.
Just returned from the game. A thoroughly enjoyable day.
Morgan started the more impressive as Selman was scratching around and playing and missing to Leach. After about an hour Selman got his timing right and played well. Morgan started to get a bit bogged down but overall he should be pleased with how he did.
Labuschagne is a much wristier batsman than I expected. He plays some shots late and is a fine cutter of the ball. Gutted for David Lloyd. He battled well from the off and looked very comfortable. A real shame he didn’t get a century.
D’Oliveira did bowl well so Lloyd needs to give Morgan a chance as on a wearing pitch on day four it will be tricky to bat on. Hopefully we can get to 450 tomorrow. Anything less would be disappointing from 293/2.
Not too bothered about the batting side losing wickets when I'm watching this time - Worcester have lost two wickets in the ten minutes or so I've been looking at the stream and they're 139-4.
Worcester 183-5 at the close of play.
Yep Glammy on top. Let’s bowl them out for 300 and then build a big lead. Not sure I would want to see Lloyd enforce the follow on as batting fourth on a wearing pitch will be tricky.
If the pitch is wearing and Worc. don`t get a foothold I think a lead of 150 is realistic, but it needs a strong fielding effort to see it through, we have given away 28 extras off 69 already. Wayward bowling or pitch again ? I saw Worc. gave away 32extras off 120.
One wicket needed 147 in front

It’s been a poor effort this afternoon. No urgency at all. This is drifting towards a draw although we would still pick up a healthy 13 points from the game.
So frustrating. We've let a really poor player make match defining contributions in both innings. Really thought we were in position to win this, going to be very difficult from here now.
one positive. Sussex need a miracle to avoid defeat in their game. while lancs have slipped to a poor position against Durham
A 79 run lead but the last pair added over 60 runs so should have been so much better. You would say this is going to be a draw but if we can get some quick runs on the board the rest of the day it might put quite some pressure on Worcester on the final day. Will Glammy risk an early declaration to try and go for the win or bat on to ensure the draw?
Labuschagne in brilliant form again and reaches 1000 runs for the season. Miles ahead of the rest. When was the last time a Glammy player scored 100 runs by 2nd July? We should have a lead of around 240 by close of play. Look to bat for 90 minutes tomorrow and then try and bowl them out. It will be tough to pull off a win from here.
Glamorgan 137-1 at the close, 216 in front. Only six wickets fell today on another Cardiff pitch which seems to have got easier the longer the game has gone on - hopefully, there can still be a positive result, but I think the pitches for our home games so far have been pretty disappointing so far and another draw has to be favourite at the moment.

Well there’s no need to be that critical Pearcey lad 🤪
It certainly felt like no one reached 100 runs by July last season.
Quite disappointed with the scoring rate last 7/8 overs today. Thought we'd put ourselves into a good position to have a slog. But they just didn't seem interested, Shane really as the scoring rate was chugging along nicely until that point
Jimmy Anderson injured himself today, no further part in Lancs game. Doubtful for start of ashes aswell evidently
Another decent batting performance in 2nd but if only with the 100 runs for the last 2 worcester wickets. What a bloody shame. The pitch getting easier so will almost certainly have to play safe tomorrow before maybe pushing for late win. But can't see a 'sporting' declaration.
Absolute joke of a performance. Opportunity to push for a win being pissed away
