LANCASHIRE have left Glamorgan with much to do to force a positive result after gaining a three-figure lead at Sophia Gardens.

Luke Wells’ dogged 78 to pass 1000 runs for the season in the process along with a much-needed 62 for Scottish international Michael Jones and George Balderson took Lancashire to 374. Several other starts including Keaton Jennings’ 1000-run landmark also boosted the visitors to their 109-run lead.

All-rounder Timm van der Gugten’s involvement in his 100th First-Class match wasn't finished with a halfcentury on day one as he took the reigns to take 5 for 85.

Glamorgan fighting back with the final four wickets inside nine overs with the second new ball.

Resuming overnight on a quietly approached 55, openers Wells and Jennings resumed momentum with the expectation to bat all day.
