Rain wrecks second day in Cardiff as Glamorgan bat first

Glamorgan 54 for 1 (Hassan 32*) vs Leicestershire

Glamorgan reached 54 for 1 towards Leicestershire as simply 17 overs had been bowled on the second day of their Championship match.

Rookie opener Zain Ul Hassan led the best way with 32 not out, after David Lloyd was bowled by Matt Salisbury for six.

Sam Northeast was on 15 not out when play resulted in sunshine, after a six-hour delay for unhealthy climate.

The first spell at 11:30 BST lasted simply 5 dot balls, confronted by Ul Hassan from Chris Wright.

A collection of showers adopted by a day downpour meant a string of inspections for umpires Paul Baldwin and Jack Shantry, and loads of mopping-up work for the bottom workers.

Ul Hassan straight-drove Wright’s first ball for 4 after the resumption, whereas Lloyd, getting back from harm, took six off Salisbury’s first 4 deliveries earlier than enjoying no shot to at least one which nipped again and hit the off-stump.

Left-hander Ul Hassan steered a few boundaries by third man and in addition discovered the boundary by cover-point, as he seems to be to place his case for a everlasting place in 2024 after Lloyd’s departure to Derbyshire.

Meanwhile Northeast didn’t get off the mark till his nineteenth ball, slashing Tom Scriven by the slips for 4, however two reasonably extra convincing boundaries adopted.

With all their Division Two rivals having loved way more enjoying time over the primary two days, the 2 groups might be engaged in a battle to make up for misplaced time.
