This is Derbyshire

Glamorgan were finally bowled out for 348 on the second

morning of Derbyshire's LV County Championship match at the

County Ground.

Robert Croft and David Harrison held them up with a

ninth-wicket stand of 88, a new record for that wicket in

matches between the counties, after the Welsh county resumed on

257-8.

Harrison was finally out for 29, stumped by Tom New off the

spin of Graham Wagg, and Wagg turned back to seam to wrap up

the innings, bowling Adam Shantry for two.

That gave Wagg a season's best 5-112 and left Croft stranded on

89 not out.

Derbyshire lost both their openers to Glamorgan seamer

Adam Shantry, with Chris Rogers bowled off an inside edge

for 30 and Paul Borrington caught at first slip by Tom Maynard

for 17 to make it 51-2.

Heavy rain led to an early tea with the score 82-2. Dan Birch

was 23 not out and Wavell Hinds 11 not out.
