Ingram and Kellaway build Glamorgan advantage before Kent fight back
Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (day two)Kent 155 & 106-1: Compton 38*, Jaydn Denly 38 Glamorgan 327 (100.5 overs): Kellaway 90, Ingram 87; Agar 4-58, Parkinson 4-103Kent (3 pts) trail Glamorgan (5 pts) by 66 runs with nine second-innings wickets standing Match scorecard Kent fought back hard with ball and ball on day two against Glamorgan but still trail by 66 runs, at 106-1 in their second innings. The experienced Colin Ingram (87) and in-form young all-rounder Ben Kellaway (90) provided more than half Glamorgan's runs in a stand of 172, exactly the first-innings gap between the two leg-spinner Mat Parkinson helped to check Glamorgan's progress with 4-103 with paceman Wes Agar also adding a fourth wicket as the hosts were dismissed for 35 overs to face, Kent lost Jaydn Denly for 38 to Kellaway but the dogged Ben Compton and Chris Benjamin saw them through to stumps as they look to battle their way towards safety. Glamorgan started the day 30 behind but Ingram and Kellaway batted sensibly for the morning session to take their stand to 172, by far the best first-innings effort on either side on a slow wicket. They were happy to accumulate singles and put the odd bad ball away, with little sign of a wicket apart from a run-out chance to dismiss South African, who will be taking a coaching role in the One Day Cup, looked set for a third successive hundred but fell on the stroke of lunch, as he edged the left-arm spin of Jaydn Denly to slip after hitting nine fours and a drove Parkinson to cover just after the interval, having taken his season's Championship tally to 749 in another mature knock from the 21 year old. That encouraged Daniel Bell-Drummond to delay taking the new ball and Parkinson repaid his faith as the old Kookaburra grew ever more difficult to get away, with Timm van der Gugten clubbing him to mid-wicket and James Harris lobbing a return Ned Leonard hoisted Parkinson for a couple of straight sixes either side of the second batting point, secured in the company of a cautious Chris Kent bowled an extra 17 overs before eventually taking the new ball at 316-8, and Agar bowled Leonard for 25 with the fifth ball of his spell. Cooke was last out for 36, skying Parkinson to mid-off after trying to farm the strike, leaving time for Kent to cut the deficit by 14 runs before Denly led a mostly untroubled reply from Kent, helped by seeing key seamer Timm van der Gugten withdraw for most of the third Denly, whose uncle Joe is likely to bat low down if needed with a calf injury, lost patience and hoicked Kellaway high to mid-wicket for 38. Compton reached a placid 38 not out off 109 balls and Benjamin was unbeaten on 22 overnight after play ended on time for once, with Kent needing to bat through day three at least and hope the pitch wears in the final innings.

Glamorgan assistant Harrison to run One Day Cup campaign
Glamorgan assistant coach David Harrison will be in charge of the county's MetroBank One Day Cup campaign, with batter Colin Ingram taking on his first senior coaching seam bowler Harrison, 43, previously ran the 50-overs side between 2021 and 2023, including the title win in takes over for the tournament in August because head coach Richard Dawson is working for the Welsh Fire franchise in the 40, will assist Harrison along with Ian Harvey, Dawson's former Gloucestershire colleague who has been with Glamorgan most of the summer. South Africa international Ingram is now settled in South Wales with his family and has been working part-time with Glamorgan's academy have twice won the One Day Cup since it was moved in the season to run alongside the Hundred, with New Zealander Grant Bradburn at the helm in 2024 before his abrupt departure from the club after just one season."I've had some good experiences in three years of doing the One Day Cup including fantastic memories of Trent Bridge in 2021, and we've had some initial conversations as to how it's going to look this year," Harrison told BBC Sport Wales."Colin (Ingram) has got a wealth of experience across all formats of the game, he's done some coaching with our pathway players and he's a great leader in that changing-room as well. "He'll still be available to play, but initially we're going to use him in a coaching role in that competition."Harrison knows the club has to strike a balance between winning games and giving younger players a chance in what is often seen as a development tournament."Ideally it would be lovely to win the competition, but it's also going to provide opportunities for more people to get exposure in the first team," he said."We've had younger guys coming in at times in the T20 and performing, but it's difficult to plan too much with so many moving parts."Glamorgan have lost both their specialist spinners, Ben Kellaway and Mason Crane, to the Welsh Fire squad so there could be an opportunity for North Walian left-arm spinner Romano Franco, 18, to make a debut after impressing in a string of second-team Henry Hurle, 19, who technically made his debut in the 2024 competition without batting or fielding in a rain-hit game at Edgbaston, could also get a chance to begin the One Day Cup with their only two home out-ground matches of the season, hosting Hampshire and Derbyshire at Neath on Tuesday 5 and Thursday 7 August.

Survival looks to be the order of the final day for the Shire, but there have been no demons in the pitch and a Kookaburra ball for the bowlers to labour with. Glamorgan started the day on 228-4 and milked 11 overs of spin before the new ball, Ingram and Kellaway moving from the 50s to the was no change in Gloucestershire's fortunes with the harder ball as the pair kept the scoreboard ticking over without a chance. Kellaway, 21, showed mature judgement as he reached the second hundred of the season and his fledgling career off 180 balls, while the ever-serene Ingram took 176 balls to notch up his 16th ton in 59 first-class matches wearing the daffodil a superb first session for the batters producing 137 runs, Gloucestershire slammed the brakes on after lunch with Ajeet Singh Dale and Zaman Akhter alternating overs of mainly short-pitched bowling from the River Taff end, while Van Buuren plugged away at the Cathedral Road was first to crack as he upper-cut Akhter to third man, while Singh Dale induced Kellaway to pull to a leaping Miles Hammond, and the visitors had a second bowling point while Glamorgan stalled well short of a fourth batting point that had looked likely. Cautious batting from Cooke and Timm van der Gugten (33), together with some negative bowling, saw the tempo drop in the afternoon though they put together a stand of eventually got going before Van Buuren removed him and Andy Gorvin (22) to earn reward for his openers Cameron Bancroft and Joe Phillips could both have been run out in the first two overs as both were guilty of poor the pair settled down and blocked out the closing stages to give their side a decent chance of a draw.
