Ingram at the helm as Glam grab win

A match-winning partnership of 98 from only 10 overs between Colin Ingram and Kiran Carlson saw Glamorgan win their first Royal London One Day Cup game this season.

Ingram was undefeated on 95 as his team reached their target with 10 balls remaining.

After Sussex had been put in, the two Lukes – Wright and Wells – gave their team a brisk start, sharing 41 in eight overs before Wells chipped Timm Van Der Gugten to mid-on, then Wright, who had scored 41 from 34 balls, flicked one down the legside from Lukas Carey to the wicketkeeper.

Andrew Salter’s off-spin was introduced in the 12th over and, with Graham Wagg bowling his cutters effectively from the other end, they restricted Sussex’s progress, with no boundaries conceded for 16 overs.

Michael Burgess and David Wiese led the fightback as it was left to Wiese with 67, including seven fours and two sixes to help Sussex reach a commendable total from their 50 overs.

Despite losing Nick Selman early on, Aneurin Donald, who has experienced a lean start to the season, and Connor Brown moved along at a brisk pace and had put on 69 for the second wicket, until Donald, who made 40, chipped Chris Jordan to Burgess on the mid-wicket boundary.

Brown quickly followed, dragging one from Ishant Sharma to mid-on, but Lloyd gave Ingram valuable support by adding 77 for the fourth wicket, with Ingram the dominant partner.

Lloyd departed for 20, but Carlson, playing his first game in the competition, soon made his intentions clear by striking Danny Briggs and Jofra Archer for sixes.

With five overs remaining, Glamorgan required 47, but the home team kept up with the required run rate with another brace of sixes from Carlson, as he reached a rapid unbeaten 59 from only 40 balls.
