County DIV1 2026, WAR vs GLA 28th Match Match Report, May 15 – 18, 2026


Warwickshire 123 for 6 trail Glamorgan 360 (Kellaway 139, Carlson 85, Hannon-Dalby 5-53, Bamber 3-72) by 237 runs

Glamorgan laid the foundations for a serious push for a third successive Rothesay County Championship victory on a rain-affected second day of their fixture with Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
Rain returned to wipe out the last 25 overs with Warwickshire struggling on 123 for 6 after the visitors’ seamers, led by Timm van der Gugten (2 for 21) and Zain-ul-Hassan (2 for 41), exploited perfect conditions on a damp day in the second city.
Glamorgan were earlier bowled out for 360, a satisfying total from the travails of 0 for 2. Oliver Hannon-Dalby took the last two wickets to finish with 5 for 53 and continue his excellent form since his recall from a surprise loan spell at Worcestershire.

Glamorgan resumed on the second morning on 341 for 8 and Mason Crane and Tom Norton took their ninth-wicket alliance to a valuable 46 in 13 overs before the former’s off stump was struck by a beauty from Hannon-Dalby. The seamer then completed the 17th five-for of his career when Ryan Hadley left one that hit off stump.

After a two-hour rain break, Warwickshire began their reply under heavy cloud and openers Alex Davies and Rob Yates worked hard to add 27 from 12 overs before the latter was lbw to a big inswinger from Zain. Davies flicked two leg-side half-volleys from Zain over the short boundary into the Hollies Stand but the bowler’s revenge arrived when an attempted drive ended in the hands of Sean Dickson at gully.

Dan Mousley and Sam Hain batted diligently to add 35 in ten overs but both departed due to injudicious leaves. Mousley’s off stump was hit by Norton and Hain fell lbw to van der Gugten.

After further rain, Glamorgan struck twice more in the gloaming as van der Gugten trapped Ed Barnard lbw and Zen Malik edged Hadley to second slip. Their seamers will be mustard keen to get straight back at Warwickshire’s lower order on the third morning – and none more so than Norton. The ball with which he dismissed Mousley was an excellent one, but the 18-year-old, on his second Championship appearance, remains in serious danger of failing to take a hat-trick in a first-class match for the first time in his career.
