I was following on BBC live scores and at close it showed 183-5, same thing yesterday at close it had Glammy at 350 - but this morning it was 354, following it this way there is no way of checking, nevertheless another good day.Originally Posted by splott parker
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.
And 14 of them no balls. Very unlike glammy. But overall you would definitely have taken this position after 2 days. Press on tomorrow with the remaining 5 wickets.
Yeah, bowling has been much tighter this season, that`s why it is sticking out like a sore thumb today. Maybe a few No Balls got smashed for boundries ?
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?
Would love to see some real attacking intent, 2 big sessions and declare at lunch, I suppose a lot depends on the top 3 and the start they give us
Hmmmm. Not going well so far!
1 - 1 after one over. Morgan departs.
At least it gets Marnus to the wicket earlier I suppose 😁
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.
And we go back to Alan Jones opening😢😢😢
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
Barring a late collapse by Durham, their match with Lancashire is going to end in a draw. This would mean that the only side to get more points than us in this round of fixtures would be Northants, who were bottom before they did us a favour by thrashing Sussex. With three to go up, every side in the division will still think they can be promoted, so, until teams are in a win or bust situation, you aren't going to see many "sporting declarations" because the risk of losing the points you get for a draw is too high.
Therefore, we are at an advantage because we have the points on the board. Given the way the division is shaping up, I think we will probably go up if we can win two of our last five games, but if we get overtaken by a few sides in the coming weeks, the flat pitches being produced for home games will make that task so much harder.
shows what I know - that is a very sporting declaration I think!
Bad injury news for Glamorgan

Also, a big and very quick hundred by Aneurin Donald for Hampshire today.
