Glamorgan v Northamptonshire, Day 1, County Championship Division 2, 16/05/2025

On a bright, sunny day at Sophia Gardens, Northamptonshire opted to bat first but must surely have regretted their decision later on as they were bundled out for 185, with Glamorgan closing on 82/3.

It is normally the case that any life in the Cardiff surface is on Day 1 so the home side would have been quietly pleased to be bowling on the opening morning. So it proved.

Only visiting captain, Luke Procter, showed much resistance with 61, as the Glamorgan seamers shared the wickets, with three each for Asitha Fernando and Andy Gorvin.




The biggest disappointment for home fans was regarding Australian Test batter, Marnus Labuschagne (below), as his must anticipated return ended in a seven-ball duck.
