On the first day only 1½ hours of play were possible until rain stopped the cricket at 1.10 pm and at 4.00 pm play was abandoned for the day. A shower delayed the start on the second day by an hour until 11.30 am. For Glamorgan, Symonds top- scored with 49, including 7 fours. In the Glamorgan innings, J Bancroft and Creber put on 45 runs for the last wicket. For the home-side Davies’s 48 contained 7 fours.
