Kieran Carlson smashed 95 with 13 boundaries while new guy Sean Dixon fired 90 in his best knock yet for the county. Both promoted teams started with two points each and the Foxes have enbatted.

Josh Hall grabbed two more, leaving Glamorgan 91 for four at lunch on a pitch hinting its spin. But the Welsh batters hit back hard in the afternoon. Carlson and Dixon rebuilt with a 126 run stand showing fluent stroke play before Carlson's run out at 95. Captain's led the charge, turning the game around after that shaky start. Dixon added 12 4s before edging behind. Spinner Ajax Patel got some turn to remove Chris Cook, but the lower order rallied late.
