Glamorgan hit four centuries
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Glamorgan re-wrote their record books at Bristol yesterday when four batsmen passed 100 in the same innings. Captain Matthew Maynard (145) and Tony Cottey (101) built on the opening stand of 240 by Hugh Morris (108) and Stephen James (118).
However, there had been a sudden threat to Glamorgan's fortunes early in the day when the left-arm seamer Mike Smith, in prime form at present, dismissed Morris, Alun Evans and James in 20 balls, before Maynard and Cottey put the visitors back on course for a massive score.
Worcestershire's off-spinner Vikram Solanki took a career-best 5 for 116 at Old Trafford but Lancashire still reached 392, thanks largely to Jason Gallian's 140. Gallian was supported by Neil Fairbrother (46), Ian Austin (47) and Steve Elworthy (45).
Mushtaq Ahmed celebrated his return to Taunton with a Pakistan win over Somerset by 105 runs, a new two-year contract with the West Country club and a match analysis of 10 for 108, five in each innings. Only Peter Bowler (52) and Simon Ecclestone (57) offered much resistance for Somerset.
