"It was an awesome exertion from Michael Hogan, he's been a high-class bowler since he's joined Glamorgan and has driven the assault splendidly for the last seven or eight years. Ideally he'll return the morning and get his 600th top of the line wicket,

"The new ball (postponed until) after 90 overs makes groups thoroughly consider a touch of the container, and around the nation groups are presumably playing a couple of all the more bowling alternatives to give them that assortment. It's useful for the game."
