Glam in control as Gorvin makes his mark with the bat and then with the ball

- BLAKE BINT

The Glamorgan seamer, who was dropped after taking a four-fer in the opening match of the season, took 4 for 49 after a dogged 39 in contribution of an 86 partnership with Timm van der Gugten (62) for the eighth wicket in the hosts' innings after resuming from day one to reach 431.

Wickets were shared for Derbyshire as the visitors bowled over 330 overs consecutively and showed periods of resistance in their own innings in between clusters of wickets.

Martin Andersson and Brooke Guest combining for 76 before Alex Thomson together with, unable to run, Luis Reece finishing the day with momentum for a 53-run partnership to reduce the deficit to 216.

After controlling day one, fears of an early day two collapse and not fulfilling their bonus point potential were enforced as Colin Ingram was dismissed in the first over; a third wicket to fall to a mishit hook shot.
