CENTURION HAYNES AND O'NEILL RESCUE NOTTS

After an eventful first day Glamorgan trail Notts by 198 runs with six first innings wickets standing.

Glamorgan won the toss on a sunny cool morning on a wicket on the Bridgford Road side of the strip. Notts brought-in Duckett, Hutton, Tongue and O’Neill into the line-up. Out went McCann, Lord, Stone and James. James had not been omitted from a Notts championship line-up since the equivalent fixture against Glamorgan four years ago. He missed the Sussex game at Trent Bridge last year due to injury. 

In front of a large crowd, Hameed had his middle stump removed from the first delivery of the innings by van der Gugten; 0 for 1. It was obvious from early doors the pitch and the overheads were giving the Glamorgan seamers plenty of assistance.

Slater was caught at second slip by Tribe off Ryan Hadley, a right arm seamer who has appeared for New South Wales; for a five-ball duck; 12 for 2 in the 4th over. Hadley conceded 15 in the 6^th over including two boundaries for Duckett and one for Clarke. Next over, Duckett (25) sliced an attempted shot over mid-wicket off van der Gugten and was caught at wide mid-off by Gorvin diving backwards, 38 for 3 in the 7th over. Gorvin replaced Hadley for the 10th over - an on drive from Clarke took Notts to 50. Hadley switched ends for the 13th over. In the 18th over, Clarke (33) lost his off stump to a Gorvin delivery which moved in sharply - keeper Cooke standing up; 74 for 4. Verreynne came in and hit Hadley for successive driven boundaries in the 19^th over. Van der Gugten came back for the 21st over and dismissed Verreynne (14) who drove loosely to Kellaway at backward point; 95 for 5 in the 21st over. Zain ul Hassan came on for the following over. Notts reached their 100 in the 23rd over via an offside two for Haynes. Notts at lunch were 101 for 5  after 25 overs with Haynes on 24 and Patterson-White on 0.

In the second over after lunch, Patterson-White (1) had his stumps demolished by van der Gugten, 107 for 6 in the 27th over. Notts fought back in exhilarating fashion with Haynes and O’Neill adding 111 in 22 overs for the seventh wicket chancing their arms with classic shots mixed with edges. 

O'Neill off drove his first and third deliveries from van der Gugten to the ropes. Hadley replaced van der Gugten for the 35th over. The 50 partnership between Haynes and O'Neill came up in 65 balls in the 37th over - Hadley conceding 15 runs (two fours for Haynes and one boundary for O'Neill). Leg-spinner Crane was introduced for the 39th over and proved expensive his seven overs costing 44. Haynes hit his second delivery for four through long leg to reach his 50 off 71 balls. Gorvin came back for the 42nd over. O'Neill got to his 50 off 67 balls with a powerful boundary through point off Gorvin in the 44th over. Two overs later  the 100 partnership came up in 117 balls with an edged four by Haynes off Gorvin.  O'Neill (59 off 82 balls; 11x4) was bowled off stump by Gorvin, 214 for 7 off 48 overs. Hutton, who was to provide a useful cameo, clubbed a long hop from Crane for six over mid-wicket in the 51st over. A cover driven four by Hutton off Gorvin saw Notts to 250 in the 56th over. Hadley removed Hutton (25) caught behind by Cooke, 262 for 8 in the 58th over. Tongue (6) was caught at second slip by Tribe off Hadley, 270 for 9 in the 60th over. Hayes reached his 100 off 133 balls a quick single to mid-on off the returning ul Hassan in the 63rd over. Haynes (100 off 137 balls; 12x4) though was caught on the extra cover ropes by Carlson off Hadley. Notts 279 all out off 63.4 overs. The Glamorgan seamers had wreaked havoc; van der Gugten (4-54), Hadley (4-76) and Gorvin (2-65). Notts fighting back well adding 176 for their last four wickets in 37 overs. Haynes and O’Neill playing key innings.

O'Neill (Radcliffe Road End) and Pennington shared the new ball. In the third over, Tribe (3) was lbw to O'Neill;  3 for 1. Byrom (1) was caught at first slip by Patterson-White off O'Neill,  4 for 2 in the 5th over. It was then announced Glamorgan had deployed an injury replacement with Sean Dickson replacing Ben Kelleway, who reportedly sustained a hip flexor injury while fielding. Like for like replacement?

Hutton replaced Pennington for the 8th over. O'Neill (6 4 6 2) was replaced by Pennington from the Radcliffe Road End. Worryingly he appeared to have some kind of side injury, however although briefly leaving the action, he fielded for most of the Glamorgan innings although had dialogue with Peter Moores and Phil Tranter. Carlson was negating any movement by standing out of his crease and advancing down the pitch. 

Ul Hassan and Carlson added 42 runs in 15 overs. Tongue came on for the 18th over and removed ul Hassan (27) with his seventh delivery bowling him with a perfect fast yorker; 46 for 3 in the 20th over. After a spell of 4 1 10 1 from the Pavilion End, Tongue was replaced by Hutton. Verreynne immediately called for the helmet and stood up to Hutton to negate Carlson’s advancements. Soon afterwards, Glamorgan skipper Carlson (26) was caught behind by Verreynne off Hutton, 79 for 4 after 30 overs. 

Stumps were drawn at 18:54 with Glamorgan 81-4 off 32 overs with the vastly experienced Ingram on 19* and nightwatchman Gorvin on 0*.
