Glamorgan now face a demanding spell of three away games in four days, starting with the return at Somerset on Thursday, 4 June before visits to Worcestershire the following day and Lancashire at Blackpool on Sunday, 7 June.

“To be able to put in a performance like that after losing off the last ball twice, shows where we’re at as a squad, so I’m really proud of the lads.

“It’s a long competition, loads of games [nine] to go, and hopefully we’ll be in the mix come the back end,” Carlson said.

“It’s going to be a very tough game down at Somerset because they’re a quality team, they don’t lose many games down there and they’ll be really keen to beat us.

“Tough games coming up, but that’s the nature of the competition.”

Experienced New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham could be a key player in the coming weeks after making a low-key debut less than 24 hours after stepping off the plane from Auckland.

His signing followed the withdrawal of Afghanistan pace bowler Faz Farooqi when his national board demanded he return to Kabul for fitness tests, even though he took six wickets in the first two games for Glamorgan.

“It hasn’t been an easy week with a lot of moving parts, changes left right and centre, but the boys still managed to put in a really good performance with loads going on behind the scenes,” said Carlson.
