GLAMORGAN V YORKSHIRE

In a game reduced to 35 overs as a result of a damp outfield, in bowler friendly conditions Darren Gough won the toss and chose to bat.

The Tykes bowlers took full advantage of the conditions. Gough and Gillespie bowled superbly showing all their experience in an excellent opening spell which reduced the hosts to 18 for 4. Gough took three wickets in his opening spell, Gillespie bowled straight through and had the fine figures of 7-3-8-1. Jimmy Maher grafted through the carnage, he found an allie in keeper Wallace and they took the score to 43 before Maher (23, 54 balls) became the first of Pyrah's three victims. Pyrah kept up the good work of Yorkshire opening attack and took 3 for 27 in his seven overs. Robert Croft provided brief resistance with 17 from 17 balls. Tim Bresnan bowled tidly with 1 for 21 in his seven. David Wainwright continued his impressive One Day form bowling 4 overs for 14 and being unlucky not to pick up a couple of wickets. Wallace played well for Glamorgan finishing unbeaten on 37 (63 balls) as the hosts totalled 129 for 8. Darren Gough took 3 for 30.

Not the best of starts for Yorkshire in reply with Craig White caught behind off Harris for 0 but that was the last alarm for the Tykes as a brilliant partnership of 88 by Brophy and Rudolph took them to the bring of victory. Brophy (who earlier held three catches) was at his spectacular best playing shots all round the wicket. His 66 was at a strike rate of 183.33 as his 36 ball stay brought him 12 fours and a six. Jacques Rudolph finished the job being unbeaten on 49 (48 balls, 9 fours) and Yorkshire cruised to an eight wicket win on 131 for 2 with 104 balls remaining.
