Glamorgan seamer Andy Gorvin took two wickets in the penultimate over as Northants struggled to survive. Resuming on 82-3, Glamorgan made good early headway led by Carlson who found the gaps in the field in an attractive half-century in a stand of 96 with Sam Northeast, before Ben Sanderson snared Carlson into flicking a catch to short backward square leg. But Northants could not keep the pressure on despite two very tight spells from captain Luke Procter, leading by example as he also threw himself into a couple of boundary Northeast reached a patient 50 off 120 balls, the prolific Kellaway was quickly into his stride to take Glamorgan ahead before 21 year old all-rounder, who hit a career-best 181 not out at Canterbury in the previous match, was again in sparkling form with some sumptuous off-drives and a lofted straight six off leg-spinner Calvin played a composed supporting role in a partnership of 141 before he edged Justin Broad to looked set for three figures when Harrison got one to bounce and he was caught the double breakthrough did not end the visitors' suffering as Chris Cooke (36) and Van der Gugten added 87, the Netherlands international striking nine fours, before Broad dismissed bowlers Conway and Sanderson returned to wrap up the innings belatedly as Northants at least maintained their 100% record on bowling points in 2025. With 14 overs for the visitors to bat, James Harris had Ricardo Vasconcelos caught at slip for one. The hard-working Procter and George Bartlett looked set to bat out the final 40 minutes of the in the penultimate over Bartlett was given lbw to Gorvin, who then trapped nightwatchman Calvin Harrison plumb leg-before second ball to deepenNorthants' misery.

All-rounder Broad signs new Northants deal
Northamptonshire all-rounder Justin Broad has signed a new contract to run until the end of the 2026 county season. The 24-year-old has twice been named the club's Young Player of the Year since making his first team debut in 2023. Broad has scored more than 1,000 runs in all formats of the game, including six half-centuries, and last summer took a career-best 7-33 in a County Championship game against Gloucestershire. He has also played nine T20 internationals for Germany, although he was born in South Africa. "He's a three-dimensional cricketer who is young, hungry and his work ethic is second to none," said Northants batting coach Greg Smith. "I think his ceiling can be very high, in four-day cricket his bowling has really developed and he showed some really promising signs with the bat in the one-day and T20 games." Northants start the 2025 season on 4 April with a Championship Division Two game against Kent at Wantage Road. Following last season's relegation, they appointed former Australia batter Darren Lehmann as their head coach in October on a two-year contract.
