Great start for glam. Mind you, Weighell has now bowled 6 overs. If he has 3 legal deliveries in that spell I would be very surprised. Not sure who is worse, him for bowling no balls or the bloody umpire for not spotting them.
Lancashire 113-6, but latter order batsmen have been a bit of a problem for us this season and the seventh wicket partnership is the highest of the innings so far.
From 74/1 to 97/5 is disappointing. A lot resting on Labuschagne to try and get to us to a first innings lead
Glammy subside to 144/8. In a week of dreadful officiating Umpire Baldwin is right down there. Some of his decisions have been woeful.
What a frustrating day that turned out to be. The 87 runs we leaked for the last 4 wickets could be a big factor. didn't seem that way when we were 71-1 mind. Will be interested to see how the pitch behaves tomorrow
Why do they insist on making the pitches so low scoring in Cardiff??
You can earn more bonus points by batting yet any score over 250 seems really unlikely. Guess you get less draws when a match lasts 7 sessions though we normally turn those draws into defeats!!!
Was not expecting this. Hopefully we get these last 2 wickets cheaply. Glamorgan favourites again!
Once again, the large majority of the wickets taken in a game at Cardiff have been LBW or bowled and this pitch does not look as green as some have done this season. The overhead conditions are not that bad, so I’m struggling to see why the pitch has been so bowler friendly this season although the high number of LBWs might be down to the current fad of batsmen seeming to want to play a version of French cricket by standing in front of their stumps.
I thought Lancashire would put together a match winning score today, but the truth is that Glamorgan need to score more than they did in the first innings (when I thought they wasted a great chance) to win - Lancashire must still be favourites.
The forecast is superb for the next two days so I would have us just about favourites.
Wouldn't like to have to get too much more than 200 though.
Need lamb gone.
The amount of runs we are giving to the tailenders is starting to get pathetic now. Starts getting to the point where its more about character than talent. So frustrating
Lamb plumb in front of the wicket and not given as lbw. The umpiring has been abysmal.
188 to win - too many I reckon.
We should win this . I really don't think the pitch is completely responsible for the poor batting by both sides so far. Haven't seen any of today admittedly, but there were a fair few daft shots yesterday. Lloyd looked in decent nick again yesterday before leaving a straight one, and Marnus looked like he is starting to click again. I think a lot depends on those 2.
Huge innings ahead, win this and top 2 is definitely on, combined with a big haul of points to take into the top group.
Really hope it's not the silly runs at the end of both innings that end up costing us
well they've started pretty quickly
steady solid start 39 without loss lets keep it going hopefully
50 up without loss
cook gone for 38 - his best innings so far
half way there
137/3. So far so good. It has been a top day for Glammy. That spell of an hour just after lunch was as well as the team have bowled and fielded in a long long time. There was a real intensity and Neser’s bowling was superb backed up by his great catch and Labuschagne’s brilliant run out. Just finish this off tomorrow please. It would be an outstanding win.
Play restarted and now 143-3 with 45 wanted.
However, Lancashire have put in a complaint that the pitch is substandard.
146-4.
Win by six wickets for Glamorgan, Labuschagne 63 not out with a return to foes - an excellent win over a good side.
Won by 6 wickets.
Never in doubt :hehe:
Need Sussex and Kent to play well now. In with a good chance of top 2
Great victory. Neser has bowled well and good to see Marnus finish unbeaten on a bit of form.
Umps a bit trigger happy with LBWs but otherwise I don’t mind pitches like this, as someone said above does make batting BPs almost pointless but I’d rather close low scoring contests like this for the main and don’t think it became farcical. Shame we’re on to the short form now!
That prick Davies was moaning about the pitch in his interview aswell. There were enough good innings and partnerships to prove that wrong. 188 for 4 hardly suggests a bad pitch either. It was a function of attacking batsman, 2 very good bowling attacks, and as another poster pointed out the umpires made a few bad out calls. If lancashire do complain , they should be docked points for a spurious complaint
A change of start time for Glamorgan's first T20 game tomorrow.

Tonight’s game is live on the Glammy website. Glos 23/1 off 3
Really poor bowling. So much short stuff and it’s being despatched to and over the boundary
Glos 179/6. That’s a very good score in Cardiff. Not often teams get much beyond 150.The bowling was far too short.
Ingram and Labuschagne need to perform as Neser is not playing with only two overseas players allowed.
Piss poor from the decision makers again. Selecting sisodiyia in the first place is daft, bowling him against 2 left handers in the power play is just mental. Brought back salter to face a set right hander , result 2 sixes. Timm has never been a good death bowler, why not keep him on when he was bowling well. We've got a team to do very well. Decision makers that belong in parks cricket.
Saying that mind. Very strong batting lineup we have out there. Should still knock these off
41/3 Ingram out for just 1. He was poor two seasons ago and is going to need to justify his place in the side. We can’t afford to leave someone as good as Neser out if Ingram isn’t performing.
What is the point in Selman in this format.
Chews up balls then gets out.
