glamorgan beats middlesex

Glamorgan 315 and 219 beat Middlesex 160 and 296 by 78 runs


 
Glamorgan secured their first Championship victory at Lord' s in 56 years after mopping up the last six Middlesex wickets in just over two hours to win by 78 runs and with 62 overs to spare.




It was former Middlesex all-rounder turned Glamorgan captain Jamie Dalrymple who proved they key figure in securing his county's first win of the Division Two campaign, leaving the hosts to contemplate their second defeat in as many starts. It was Dalrymple's off-spin that accounted for Middlesex top-scorer Dawid Malan for an excellent 115, a dismissal that ultimately exposed the Middlesex tail to the second new ball and made the result a foregone conclusion.
