Traditional cricket at its scintillating draw

Adam Lyth led Yorkshire’s victory bid on day four in Cardiff

Glamorgan and Yorkshire played out an absorbing draw after an adventurous declaration from home captain Kiran Carlson on their return to the top flight.

Set 295 in 68 overs at 4.34 runs per over, Yorkshire started strongly but finished on 239-7 with Glamorgan pressing for victory in the closing stages.

Adam Lyth’s 97 led the White Rose charge but did not have enough support as leg-spinner Mason Crane and paceman Ryan Hadley claimed three wickets apiece.

Glamorgan batted cautiously most of the morning before accelerating, Colin Ingram hitting 75 and Carlson 53 while Dom Bess picked up 4-87.

The declaration came at 12:54 BST to give both sides a chance of forcing a positive result but the spoils were shared in Cardiff.
