Glamorgan and Yorkshire played out a tense draw in the opening game of the 2026 Rothesay County Championship at Sophia Gardens.
A bold declaration before lunch in a first game as permanent first-class captain from Kiran Carlson set Yorkshire 295 from 68 overs. Yorkshire started strongly but reverted to defence as 125 for 1 became 174 for 5 with 21 overs left to force a result. The visitors finished 56 short of the target on 239 for 7, leaving Glamorgan to rue the 61 overs lost in the game on days one and two.
Adam Lyth scored a commanding 97 to pick up where he left of in the most recent of his three 1000-run seasons in succession. One again Mason Crane starred with 3 for 99 to follow his 5 for 55 and 51 with the bat earlier in the match along with overseas debutant Ryan Hadley, who gave Glamorgan late hope with 3 for 35.
