Match scorecard

Glamorgan battled their way to a historic first ever home triumph in Division One as they pulled off an unlikely two-wicket win over Somerset.

Their heroes were Sean Dickson, who hit 76 against the county who let him go last season, and nightwatchman Ryan Hadley, who made 50 not out and faced more balls in the match than in his previous 19 first-class games.

It was an agonising run-chase at times as Somerset's impressive quartet of seamers made Glamorgan fight for everything, with Craig Overton (3-60) bowling superbly on the final day.

The result, after an absorbing game, marks Glamorgan's second successive win and Somerset's second loss.

Glamorgan had previously won only four matches in the top flight, all away from home.

Resuming on 140-5, Glamorgan's overnight pair of night-watchman Hadley and former Somerset player Dickson ground along slowly, playing and missing fairly regularly as many had done before them over the course of the game.

The pace quartet of Lewis Gregory, Jake Ball, Migael Pretorius and Craig Overton kept the pressure on as they reeled off the maidens, and on one occasion Somerset thought they had won an lbw verdict from umpire Paul Pollard, only for the official to adjust his hat instead.
