An 'almost' innings from Glamorgan here - several players made promising starts but only Bethan Ellis with a solid 70 has produced anything that could be described as a major innings. They are 208-9 in the 49th of their 50 overs. As I type this a run out ends the innings at 209 from 48.3 overs.

Hampshire win by 26 runs, and in truth they have bossed this match from start (when they thrashed 89-0 from their six overs of Power Play) to finish, and there has not been any stage of this match at which any other result than a Hampshire win looked remotely likely.

Back off talented Bethell and let him learn game - Agnew

Once the upcoming Ashes cricket series in Australia is over I wonder if England’s obsession with bowlers who can bowl very fast will end.

Bowlers who can move the ball sideways might get a look in again.
