Resuming on 55 for no wicket, Lancashire openers Wells and Jennings both moved past 1,000 first-class runs for the season in the opening overs. <\/p>\n
Jennings came down the wicket frequently, striking 11 boundaries in his 49 off 75 balls before Van der Gugten had him lbw and followed up with a peach that hit Josh Bohannon’s off-stump for nine.<\/p>\n
Birthday boy Bell, 23, started rapidly to reach 45 and took Lancashire to 168-2 at lunch, but fell two balls afterwards as he edged Mason Crane to slip.<\/p>\n
Wells started to accelerate after a patient first session before Crane won an lbw shout.<\/p>\n
That only served to unleash the aggression of Scotland and former Durham batter Jones, who hit two early sixes off Crane as he upped the run-rate and got the visitors into the lead in the company of Hurst. <\/p>\n
A third maximum followed to drive the leg-spinner out of the attack, while seamer Ned Leonard limped off to cut Glamorgan’s options, after just two balls of his third spell.<\/p>\n
Zain Ul Hassan (2-38) returned with a better spell, having Jones lbw after he had struck six fours and three sixes, before bowling Hurst for 47 as he aimed a blow over the top to try to reach a half-century. <\/p>\n
Glamorgan delayed taking the new ball for eight overs but Balderson was settled by the time it arrived and added a further 65 with Tom Hartley, who edged van der Gugten to slip for 17 just before Balderson reached his fourth 50 of the season.<\/p>\n
The end came in a flurry with four wickets falling for nine as Van der Gugten and James Harris ran through the tail, van der Gugten completing a five-for to add his 50 in his 100th first-class match, but it was too late to change the balance of the match. <\/p>\n
Tribe began in his usual confident manner while Ul Hassan nearly played on to Jack Blatherwick and survived a caught-behind appeal, but it was the Jerseyman who was bowled by a delivery from Balderson which kept low.<\/p>\n
Night-watchman Harris was lbw to Blatherwick without scoring as Lancashire sighted their third win of the campaign.<\/p>\n
Glamorgan’s Timm van der Gugten told BBC Sport Wales:<\/p>\n
“The wicket’s got a bit different as the game’s gone on, I felt I bowled quite well in the morning then probably not as well as the game went on, but it was nice to get a personal milestone, and to limit them to the 100-run lead.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully we can bat well, get ahead and set them a tricky chase.<\/p>\n
“We’ll get as many runs as we can and the fourth innings could be interesting on that wicket if we’ve got beyond 200 runs.<\/p>\n
“I’m pleased to get to 100 (first-class) games, coming from Australia and not playing too many games before I was 25 I didn’t think that was a possibility.” <\/p>\n
Lancashire’s Michael Jones told BBC Lancashire Sport:<\/p>\n
“It was a counter-attacking innings, runs were the most important thing rather than time out of the game, so I knew if we could get ahead, that was the most crucial thing.<\/p>\n
“Crane was spinning the ball quite a lot so I felt it was going to be a challenge and my best course of action was going to be to put some pressure back onto him.<\/p>\n
“We’re in a really strong position, even better if we get some early wickets tomorrow. <\/p>\n
“It’s been an interesting year (personally), when you move counties you draw up a picture of how you envisage it. It hasn’t gone quite to plan but overall a positive year and something to build on.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Resuming on 55 for no wicket, Lancashire openers Wells and Jennings both moved past 1,000 first-class runs for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":161269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-161268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/161269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
