two wickets to see them to 25 for 2, but opener and wicket-keeper Mark Wallace top-scored with 64, and Sourav Ganguly also made 55 as Glamorgan made their way to 208 for 5, still needing 96 to make Middlesex bat again. However, Styris took the last four wickets en route to bowling figures of five for 57, his second five-for of the season, as Middlesex secured the innings victory. (Cricinfo scorecard) Tour match: Glamorgan v Bangladesh A (26–28 July) Match drawn After a first day in which Glamorgan had racked up 380 runs, Mike Powell top-scoring with 111 and Alex Wharf making 77 while Syed Rasel took four for 89, the touring Bangladesh A side were sent in to bat.

Six Glamorgan players were then out in single figures, Amjad Khan taking three for 68, but number three David Hemp stood tall with an unbeaten 171. Glamorgan were 188 for 9 at one point on day two, but survived to stumps to 236 for 9, and just kept going – their number 11, Huw Waters, made
