Glamorgan v Somerset, Day 2 🏏

Mason Crane bowling to Jack Leach.

Somerset end the day on 337/9 after 96 overs.

Tom Abell 86 and Josh Thomas 71 top scored.

Tom Norton, 18, making his first-class cricket debut, took 3 wickets for 75 runs from his 19 overs 👏

And Zain-ul-Hassan did get 2 wickets in the last 4 overs of the day 🙂

Now I’m looking forward to tomorrow to see Glamorgan’s reply after Somerset’s final wicket falls.

Tea. Somerset 232/5.

ul-Hassan now 11-5-24-0. Batters not hitting him but still no wicket 🏏

The sun has struggled out at Sophia Gardens

Couple of wickets in a half an hour spell after lunch finds Somerset 138/3 with two new batters in - Archie Vaughan and Tom Abell.

Lunchtime maintenance 🏏

Glamorgan v Somerset. Lunch Day 1.

Somerset, batting first, are 104/1 after 32 overs.

James Rew, opening for Somerset, is the only batter to be dismissed - for 4 to Timm van der Gugten in the 3rd over.

Zain-ul-Hassan is bowling really well for Glamorgan. 6 overs including 4 maidens for 12 runs (8 of them in his 6th over as I’m writing this ☹️). So unlucky not to get a wicket yet 🏏

ALL OUT!!! What an excellent couple of sessions for our bowlers today TVDG and Crane end with 4 each, as Glamorgan have enforced thefollow-on Umpires have called for tea ahead of Hampshire’s 2nd innings

I’ve just made a number of cricket photos public in my Cricket album on Flickr.

Yes, they’re of dubious quality, usually quite distant, a little repetitive and need titles and descriptions adding but at least they’re some sort of record of matches attended 😄 🏏 📸

Unreasonably pleased with the performance of my Cricket Draft team in GW4 after a couple of dismal previous weeks. Still a lot of work to do - I’m even languishing near the bottom of my own league, Cow Corner 😆

All’s well … sort of … the match ended in a draw although at on point CricViz switched to giving Glamorgan a 40% victory chance. Interesting, could have gone either way 🤔

Tea Day 4. Yorkshire trail by 169 but have only lost 1 wicket. CricViz giving a 81% chance of a draw, 19% of a Yorkshire win 🏏

On Saturday, Day 2 of the Glamorgan v Yorkshire match, I took an old digital camera (Olympus SZ-14) with me to the ground. The 24x optical zoom lens did give some slightly sharper and closer-up photos than my phone could provide. As a quick test of the camera I quite liked the some of the results.
