Worcestershire are facing an uphill battle after batters fail
Worcestershire endured a miserable day with the bat in their LV= Insurance County Championship match against Glamorgan in Cardiff.
Australian Ashes hopeful Michael Neser and James Harris both bagged four wickets as the Pears were rolled over for 109.
The visitors were 34 for six before Gareth Roderick (39) and Matthew Waite (22) offered some resistance.
In reply, Joe Leach claimed the early wicket of Eddie Byrom to give the Pears the perfect start but their fielding was sloppy in the opening overs. Jack Haynes put down both David Lloyd (48) and Marnus Labuschagne (42) in the slip cordon. The two Glamorgan batters put on 81 before Lloyd was bowled by Leach.
It was after the tea interval that things clicked for Worcestershire with a burst of four wickets for just 21 runs – Adam Finch claiming three of those –as the hosts ended the day on 177-6.
