Somerset tail fights back to 337/9 after Glamorgan collapse
Lower-order grit rescues Somerset from 150/5 to post a competitive 337/9 on Day One.
Somerset finished Day One of their County Championship clash against Glamorgan at 337/9, a total built on a gritty lower-order fightback after a mid-innings collapse. The visitors slumped to 150/5, but the tail wagged emphatically, pushing the score past 330 and leaving the match finely poised. The day was a classic attritional scrap.
Glamorgan's bowlers struck regularly in the middle session, reducing Somerset to 150/5 and smelling a sub-250 total. But the lower order had other ideas. A series of stubborn partnerships, led by the middle-order batters who dug in, frustrated the home attack and turned the tide.
For Glamorgan, this is a missed opportunity. They had Somerset on the ropes but failed to deliver the knockout blow. The pitch offered help throughout, and cleaning up the tail for under 300 would have been a significant psychological edge.
