405-6, Tribe 202 not out.
Just been bowled for 206 - interestingly, it looked like it kept low.
Northants 165-3 in reply to Glamorgan’s 467 - a couple of wickets for Mason Crane just before tea brings us back into it.
An evenly balanced game and with some rain forecast over the next couple of days a draw looks the most likely outcome.
Disappointing bowling effort by Glamorgan on a used pitch.Originally Posted by Pearcey3
Out and about today. Any idea why kellaway only bowled 6?
Nice way to end
I watched him bowl about three overs today, nothing obviously wrong with him - he didn’t looked particularly dangerous, but he wasn’t going for as many runs per over as everyone else bar Van Der Gugten.
Northants batted aggressively and as we had attacking fields it allowed them to score quickly. As long as we don't lose from here it's OK. Both Middlesex and Derbyshire only managed one batting bonus point.
Somerset’s Sean Dickson joining Glamorgan next season. Big hitter in one day cricket, but unlikely he’ll provide the four day runs that Northeast did.
Asa Tribe got bought at the SA20 auction. What a year he's having.
He has a calf problem, apparently.
Looking at the hourly rain forecast and the weather at the ground, it's highly unlikely we'll see any play today. Shame, as it was looking like an interesting contest, this one.
Great news for Tribe, too. Hopefully they sort that new contract out quickly, even if he says he hasn't received any offers from other counties.
Looking at the current state if play in other games this rain delay isn't a problem. Similar delays elsewhere. So unlikely any rivals will narrow the gap if the games are drawn.
They’re playing at Lords.
looks like a 1.50 start
Only very briefly.
Weather forecast for Lords today is regular showers throughout the afternoon, so assuming that's the case, it will likely take some really creative captaining to produce a positive result there.
In Northampton, the forecast suggests we're more likely to see a full day's play, which creates a tricky situation for Glamorgan. Do you hope the rain quashes a result at Lords and play out the draw, or do you assume they'll find a way to produce a winner (as a draw is no good for either team) and dangle a relatively low carrot for Northants?
All assuming we take that last wicket quickly, of course.
Northants have declared, which makes it interesting.
Not a great morning session, which has probably ended any ambitions of trying to win this one.
Derbyshire are ahead by 82 with 6 wickets remaining at Lords, so if they get a full day's play you'd say Middlesex have a chance there. That's a big "if", however.
It is a big if and Middlesex still have to take six wickets. They will need to take all of those wickets in the second session to force a win. I see them as a bigger threat than Derbyshire. A draw there suits us.
Barring an incredible finish to Kent v Lancashire, it’s draws all round in the Second Division, which means that Leicestershire are promoted and Glamorgan are twenty seven points clear of Derbyshire and thirty ahead of Middlesex going into the last two matches.
Looking at the forecast for next weeks game at Derby, it’s looking like showers on days one and three.
All worked out pretty well in the end. Will be a great contest next week.
As an added bonus, Dawson has just confirmed Tribe will be at Glamorgan next season.
That's good news.
Beat Derbyshire next week and pick up three bonus points and it's all done.
Nice article in The Times today about Tribe, written by Steve James: https://archive.ph/xlqsB
Thanks, good and interesting read that - hope Kellaway is fit for the last two matches, he and Tribe have become so important to Glamorgan so quickly.
Ben Kellaway has signed a contract with Glamorgan until 2028
