Scorecard<\/a><\/p>\nYorkshire earned their first One-Day Cup win of the campaign by inflicting Glamorgan’s first defeat in a low-scoring contest in Neath.<\/p>\n
After winning the toss at the Gnoll and choosing to bat, the hosts never got to grips with Yorkshire’s disciplined and probing bowling and were always under pressure with the top order skittled out cheaply. <\/p>\n
Ben Cliff was the main antagonist for the visitors with 4-29 with Eddie Byrom the only Glamorgan batter offering any resistance with a workmanlike 68.<\/p>\n
But Yorkshire still made hard work of chasing down a well-below par total with Finlay Bean top scoring with to guide his team to a nervy victory as they eventually reached the 187 required.<\/p>\n
Encouraged by their opening round victory on Wednesday, Glamorgan aimed for a repeat performance with the bat against the Yorkshiremen, but were always under pressure. <\/p>\n
Callum Nicholls, Will Smale and Henry Hurle departed in the first 10 overs as Cliff and Hill struck.<\/p>\n
Rising talent Jack Hope-Bell was called on to steady the situation early on with Eddie Byrom, but there would be no heroics similar to his maiden class A 100 against Sussex when he was trapped lbw by Jack White for just nine. <\/p>\n
Despite little first team cricket this season, Byrom formed a 47-run partnership alongside Dan Douthwaite to provide some brief respite for the hosts. <\/p>\n
But the resistance did not last long as Douthwaite was bowled for 19 and Byrom fell for a spirited 68 .<\/p>\n
Timm van der Gugten and Alex Horton held out briefly for another 47-run partnership, but Yorkshire were always in the ascendancy with Cliff the pick of the bowlers with 4-29 and Indian international Kuldeep Yadav picking up wickets on debut as Glamorgan limped to a disappointing 186-47. <\/p>\n
Yorkshire made heavy weather of reaching the modest total despite a solid start from openers Adam Lyth and Will Luxton.<\/p>\n
After both fell to the ever-dependable Van der Gugten, Yorkshire captain Dom Bess and Finlay Been appeared to have steered the visitors to safety with a crucial partnership of 44 before Bess fell to the bowling of Glamorgan counterpart Andy Gorvin.<\/p>\n
That set up a nervy finish but Yorkshire did just enough courtesy of Bean, 43 not out, with eight balls to spare . <\/p>\n
Glamorgan next face Middlesex in Radlett on Sunday while Yorkshire take on Sussex at Hove.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One-Day Cup, Group B, Neath Glamorgan 186 (47): Eddie Byrom 68; Ben Cliff 4-29 Yorkshire 190-8 (48.4 overs):…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":710217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-712007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712007","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=712007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/712007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/710217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=712007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=712007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=712007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
