Key occasions
Now Billy Root becoming a member of in as he casually advances down the pitch and pings Hill away. Four more swung to the pink boundary boards. Poor Hill swings his arm and takes his jumper from the umpire with a fed-up air.
While within the Rachael Heyhoe-Flint trophy:
100 for Labuschagne!
A fragile dab by second slip takes him to 96. An elaborate drive and miss off Thompson resulted in exasperated hand alerts. Gets hit within the balls, however then the hundred comes, with an enthralling, crafted information by the slips. An enormous acceleration after lunch: his first fifty got here off 104 balls, his second off 38.
His seventh hundred for Glamorgan. And fabulous and intelligent and excessive class it was too.
In the meantime, Kiran Carlson has been out for a five-ball duck, properly taken by Bairstow, straight into the gloves.
Labuschagne advancing in direction of his century in mega-strides, as he shimmies to leg stump and golf equipment Edwards for 2 fours into the hole within the discipline. Now into the nineties.
A wicket! No century for Sam Northeast who performs a flashy minimize and is caught by the diminuative Shakeel for 66. Glamorgan 205-3, the partnership between Northeast and Labuschagne value 153.
Edwards getting some tonk by Labuschagne, accelerating phrases could have been whispered at lunch. Labuschagne opens the arms huge, drops to a knee and slams him straight down the bottom, then backs away and pulls him for 4 more over mid-off.
Tom Kohler Cadmore hits a six to succeed in 100
TKC not hanging round at Taunton. First ball of the day – bang – over Jack White’s head for six to carry him his first Somerset century!
Another e-mail about Ian Dews, thanks to Anthony Bradley:

Tutored coaching award courses, supported a lottery bid, put us forward as one of the first to run a Chance to Shine programme etc. I understand he was one of the first non first class cricketers to achieve a Level 4 coaching award.
”In addition our membership was a part of Beyond the Boundary a scheme to get more ethnically various guests to the Yorkshire Dales.
”I provide this not as a defence of Ian however somewhat my disappointment and no little anger on the tradition at Yorkshire that was allowed to go unchallenged for thus lengthy.”

And fifty for Labuschange too, who eyes up the sphere and reverse-sweeps Bess for 4. Two additional fours observe within the over, one other reverse sweep, then a artful scoop on one knee over his collar bone
That’s Labuschagne’s second fifty of the sport – and the third in succession. A helpful little participant Glamorgan have gotten on their books.
And that’s lunch!
And one other 4 to Northeast, driving Edwards, by mid off, beating a scampering Bess to the rope.
First six of the morning (I believe) as Northeast leans and chops a fats huge one from Thompson over third man. And he wins the race to fifty with a fragile waft off Edwards to the third man boundary: 88 balls, his first half century of the season.
And lo, for the primary time at present, we now have Dom Bess. It received’t simply be the one over earlier than lunch as we’re enjoying until 1.10. Peroxide curly mop, in he comes – two from the over.
Rain now at Trent Bridge too, the place George Balderson and Josh Bohannon go away the sphere reluctantly. They’ve taken Lancs to 195 for one; Balderson lunching on 90, Bohannon on 85. Broad’s 11 overs have value 50 runs. The lead over Notts a more than useful 160.
Glamorgan constructing steadily right here at Headingley. Yorkshire a bowler down with out Coad “a niggle to the groin”. He missed most of final season with related, so fingers crossed it’s an insignificant as Yorkshire are suggesting. Sun out, hills seen excessive of the West Stand, Labuschagne and Northeast accumulate. Glamorgan 119-2.
Balderson and Bohannon nonetheless making the Notts assault look bizarre – as Lancs advance to 180-1, a lead of 145.
Still play solely at TB and Headingley. The forecast guarantees: Outbreaks of rain, heavy in locations, transferring northeast throughout a lot of England and Wales. An inspection was due at 12 at Taunton, however elsewhere simply many raindrops.
An e-mail! Hello Tim Sanders.
“Hello Tanya
”There a definite divergence between the BBC and the Met Office on the climate prospects at present. I’m about to make a sandwich and a flask of espresso, and set off for the bottom. I wish to stroll earlier than a day of sitting down, and there’ll be bluebells on Woodhouse Ridge.
”Anyway, I’ve been reflecting on what it is likely to be like for Jonny coming again to the membership. One of the 14 sacked employees was Ian Dews, who was necessary to him as a coach and mentor. These are two extracts from ‘A Clear Blue Sky’, from the Academy years, and then after being dropped by England early in 2014…”
Very true. I can’t add the extracts I’m afraid however they discuss Dews championing YJB from the beginning and encouraging the academy to take him regardless that he was additionally enjoying rugby.
.
At Trent Bridge, Stuart Broad is bowling, however nonetheless wicket-less as Balderson and Bohannon’s partnership reaches 134. Sorry, barely distracted by Penny Mordant strolling in direction of the King with a sword. Fancy gold dressing robe for Charles.
A difficult battle between Edwards and Labuschagne brewing. Labuschagne was overwhelmed by a magnificence, however held the pose, an excellent drive, for longer than was strictly obligatory. Later within the over Edwards disappeared to the boundary, higher minimize away.
I heard this from others who had been there. Not a lot of a way of event right here at Headingley this morning.
And Labuschagne is dropped by Tattersall, difficult however he reached it with each arms. On 11. Glamorgan transfer onto 74-2. It’s not been straightforward to bat this morning, the ball zipping throughout.
Derbyshire declare
With a tasty lead of 228. What odds on Leicestershire surviving until tea? All is dependent upon whether or not it’s Leicestershire model early season 2023 or Leicestershire model 2022.
Weather watch
Four video games in progress, at Chelmsford, Trent Bridge, Derby and Headingley. Delayed begins at New Road, Taunton and the Rose Bowl.
“I’d rather stick pins in my eyes”
I doorstepped some spectators ready exterior the pavilion. There had been blended views concerning the coronation.
Colin Hicks and Malcolm Davies had come from Cardiff to observe Glamorgan, and no coronation was going to cease them. “It’s a prestigious stadium, we don’t have a chance to come here. I’ve never been to Leeds before, said Hicks.”
Like watching their King at Westminster Abbey? “He’s [Labuschagne] the best batsman in the world – better than Bairstow,” – says Davies with a twinkle.
Jennifer Massheder and Shelia Waterworth, sitting subsequent to one another on a bench, are good buddies with very differing views on politics and the monarchy.
“I’ve got my flags and my tape is on and I’ll be watching tonight,” says Massheder. “But cricket comes first, we’d have been at the Bradford league if not here.”
Waterworth disagrees. “Definitely not, if it poured down all day I’d rather stick pins in my eyes than watch it. I’m disgusted that it is being shown on BBC1 and BBC2 all day.”
We simply had the nationwide anthem. Didn’t see many lips transferring.
