Day four report

Glamorgan beat Durham with three balls remaining in a thrilling finish at Swansea for their first County Championship win of the season.

They were indebted to opener Nick Selman, who batted throughout the innings for 116 with 12 fours and three sixes - the last two coming from the first two balls of the final over of the Division Two clash as he scored the 14 runs still needed.

Durham added a further 118 to their overnight 158 for three in the morning session, although Paul Collingwood would have probably batted on after lunch had 16 overs not been lost to rain. The Durham captain was undefeated on 92, and another eight runs would have seen him become the only Durham player to have twice scored two centuries in the same game.

Collingwood and Graham Clark shared a 102-run partnership for the fourth wicket before Clark, who struck a career-best first-class score of 72, feathered one from Michael Hogan to the wicketkeeper.

Ryan Pringle then added a further 81 with Collingwood before three wickets fell for six runs. Pringle hooked Hogan to fine leg, Paul Coughlin skied Andrew Salter to mid-on then Stuart Poynter, attempting to sweep Salter's off-spin, was well caught by wicketkeeper Chris Cooke from a bottom edge.

Glamorgan, who needed to score at 5.2 runs an over, made a cautious start and openers Jacques Rudolph and Selman had reached 37 before Rudolph, in the final over before tea, was caught at leg slip attempting to reverse-sweep George Harding's left-arm spin.

Glamorgan required a further 227 from the final 35.3 overs of the game and made their intentions clear by promoting Salter, who top-scored with 75 in the first innings with three sixes. However, Salter faced 15 balls before scoring his first run and though he twice drove Coughlin to the extra-cover boundary, he was soon out lbw to Pringle's third ball.

Aneurin Donald and David Lloyd were also promoted ahead of Colin Ingram, who had scored five centuries in all competitions this season, with Donald striking 28 from 17 balls with six fours before he was caught off Harding. The left-arm spinner, making his Championship debut, struck again in the following over when Lloyd gave him a return catch.

With 20 overs remaining Glamorgan needed 157 to win and much depended on Ingram. He quickly attacked Harding, who was struck out of the ground over midwicket, while Selman reached his fifty from 89 balls.

The pair put on 73 in 10.3 overs before Ingram, who made 42 from 31 balls with two sixes and five fours, was caught behind off Pringle.

Cooke kept Glamorgan interested by striking both spinners for six in successive overs - the second disappearing in the direction of Swansea Bay - but with 44 required from 30 balls, Coughlin returned and with his fourth ball had Cooke caught at midwicket.

Will Bragg soon came and went and with two overs left, Glamorgan had much to do to score 24 runs from 12 balls, with eight fielders posted on the boundary.

Selman reached his second century of the season from 124 balls and with 14 needed from the last over, Selman hammered Coughlin's first ball into the sightscreen and the second over the square leg boundary before pushing the third for two to win the game.

Day three report

The Specsavers County Championship Division Two clash between Glamorgan and Durham is nicely poised as the visitors ended the third day 147 runs ahead with seven wickets remaining.

It had looked at one stage like Glamorgan would have to follow on, but they got a first innings lead of 11 thanks to a career-best 75 from Andrew Salter.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Chris Cooke only added six runs to his overnight score of 63 before he was caught and bowled by Paul Coughlin, as the bowler dived forwards to take the catch.

Cooke could have gone in the opening couple of overs, almost playing onto his stumps. Add into the mix a dislocated finger for Durham keeper Stuart Poynter and it was an eventful start to proceedings.

Marchant de Lange came to the crease and showed some attacking intent with a series of powerfully-hit boundaries, one of which forced non-striker Salter to duck under a straight drive.

He followed it up with a straight-driven six off debutant left-arm spinner George Harding. But he swung once too often and Chris Rushworth beat him with flight as he was bowled for 30, ending a 45-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Salter.

Timm van der Gugten quickly followed, caught at slip by Keaton Jennings for nought. Captain Michael Hogan came in and dealt a couple of blows for four off the first two balls of his innings. He followed that up with a six over bowler Coughlin's head towards the pavilion.

Salter brought up his 50 with a pull for six off Coughlin and raced to 61 not out with a second consecutive and identical six as Glamorgan closed in on Durham's first innings total.

Indeed, they passed the 342 mark before Salter was caught by Jennings for 75 as Glamorgan were all out for 353.

Durham, 11 runs adrift after their first innings, began their second innings after lunch after Glamorgan grafted in order to post a respectable 353, having looked at one stage as though they may well have to follow on.

And it took just 2.2 overs for the Welsh county to get their first breakthrough with the ball, Stephen Cook playing a loose shot into the off-side straight to Salter at point off De Lange's bowling.

Durham were back in the lead by 24 when they lost their second wicket, Cameron Steel being bowled by Van der Gugten for 10.

But the visitors got back on track as Jennings and Graham Clark added 40 for the third wicket before the former fell victim to David Lloyd's first ball of the innings, trapped lbw for 35.

The easiest of chances went begging when Clark skied a ball off De Lange, the bowler running to the batsman's end, getting under it but letting it go at the very last second.

Durham had reached 105 for three by tea, with 39 overs still to be bowled due to overs lost on the second day.

Graham Clark, lucky to still be at the crease after De Lange's drop, reached his half-century off 97 balls soon after the break, in a crucial fourth-wicket partnership with his skipper Paul Collingwood.

Day two report

Half-centuries for Aneurin Donald (pictured) and Chris Cooke kept Glamorgan's Specsavers County Championship clash with Durham at St Helen's firmly in the balance.

Responding to Durham's 342, the hosts closed on 225 for six with Cooke unbeaten on 63 to add to Donald's 51.

Due to a combination of rain and bad light - in stark contrast to the first day of the Division Two match - no play was possible before lunch.

But when the action got under way just before 2.30pm, Glamorgan's openers Jacques Rudolph and Nick Selman came out showing a real attacking intent and took the score to 28 inside the third over.

Things quickly changed, however, when Selman played a loose shot to Cameron Steel at point off the last ball of Chris Rushworth's over. The Australian-born youngster was unable to rediscover the form which led to his first first-class century at St. Helen's last year, when he carried his bat on his way to 122 against Northamptonshire - the first Glamorgan batsman to do so since Matthew Elliott at Cardiff in 2004.

A second wicket soon followed, Rudolph finding Paul Collingwood in the slips to leave Glamorgan 39 for two. Colin Ingram joined Will Bragg at the crease needing just 39 to reach 1,000 runs across all formats this season but fell short, giving Collingwood - who made 127 on day one, his 41st birthday - a second catch at slip off Coughlin for 18 as Glamorgan lost their third wicket at 76.

More composure was evident with Donald and Bragg at the crease until the latter needlessly skied one to Rushworth at mid-on off James Weighell's bowling and Glamorgan were once again struggling at 92 for four.

New batsman David Lloyd could have gone third ball, but a simple chance went begging for Ryan Pringle at slip.

Having restricted Glamorgan to 112 for four at tea, it took just 10 balls into the final session for Durham to pick up their fifth wicket, as Lloyd was removed by Collingwood at slip off Coughlin for 16.

Donald had reached his half-century off 74 balls before a one-handed mid-wicket catch by Keaton Jennings off Weighell brought an end to a 42-run partnership which had offered some hope as Glamorgan reached 161 for six.

Andrew Salter joined Cooke at the crease and an unbeaten partnership of 64 saw Glamorgan through to the close of play after the latter reached his half-century off 83 balls, hitting hit eight fours along the way.

Day one report

Paul Collingwood ensured a 41st birthday to remember with a superb century as Durham made 342 on day one of their Specsavers County Championship clash with Glamorgan.

The former England all-rounder struck 127 off 174 balls after Durham lost early wickets in the Division Two fixture at St Helen's in Swansea.

It was also a day to remember for new Glamorgan captain Michael Hogan, whose three wickets in four balls saw him end his first day as skipper with figures of five for 49.

The visitors wobbled early on, losing two wickets in the first eight overs of the match. Key opening batsman Keaton Jennings was clean bowled by Marchant de Lange for four and Stephen Cook fell lbw to Timm van der Gugten to leave Durham 17 for two.

Graham Clark and Cameron Steel built an 86-run partnership for the third wicket as the visitors began to rebuild, the former making 48 before falling to a superb low slip catch by Nick Selman off Hogan to leave the score at 103 for three.

Steel brought up his fifty off 134 balls, hitting seven fours, but all eyes were on Collingwood who had raced to 30 by the time his partner had reached the milestone, having hit six fours on all sides of the wicket.

A useful 60 partnership came to an end when Selman claimed his second slip catch of the innings off Hogan, Steel departing for 59 to leave the visitors 163 for four in the 57th over. Just two overs later, Durham lost their fifth wicket as Ryan Pringle was caught by wicketkeeper Chris Cooke off De Lange for five.

Collingwood reached the half-century mark just after tea off 100 balls and a sixth-wicket partnership of 91 with Paul Coughlin put the visitors back in the game as they claimed a second batting point.

However, the stand came to an end when Coughlin was leg before to Van der Gugten for 31 and the visitors were 260 for six.

Collingwood went on to reach his century off 158 balls, and had hit 20 fours and a six on his way to 127 before he was trapped in front by Andrew Salter. An eighth wicket soon followed, Stuart Poynter caught behind off Hogan for a useful 38 having put on 82 with Collingwood.

Hogan claimed his second wicket in the over when he bowled George Harding and it was three in four balls - and four in seven - when Chris Rushworth was caught behind off the last ball of the day to end Durham's first innings on 342.
