Glamorgan on top in Cardiff
Richard Thomas of the South Wales Evening Post - 26 April 2001

Impressive batting contributions from in-form pair Adrian Dale and Mike Powell put Glamorgan in a satisfactory position on the second day of their CricInfo Championship match against Somerset.

Despite being put in to bat by Jamie Cox, after the first day was a wash-out, Glamorgan finished on 330-7 with Adrian Shaw unbeaten on 62.

Both Powell and stand-in skipper Dale had hit the ground running last week at Northamptonshire scoring the first century and double hundred of the championship season respectively.

And after a slow start - it took him 36 balls and 42 minutes to get off the mark - Powell drove well to claim his second half-century of the season.

In front of England selectors Geoff Miller and David Graveney, Powell impressed before being bowled off his pads by Richard Johnson.

Dale, fresh from 204 at Northampton, took over the onslaught and also passed 50 off 96 balls and included seven fours. Like Powell, Dale was bowled for 64.

At the start of the day opening pair Jimmy Maher and Alun Evans built a useful platform of 65 runs before the Australia became one of four lbw victims.

Evans looked well set at lunch on 41, but perished off the first ball of the afternoon when he was adjudged lbw to Steffan Jones. It heralded three more wickets in the middle session.

Matthew Maynard seemed in determined mood but the ball after hooking Johnson to the long leg boundary he was trapped lbw.

After Powell went, Newell fell lbw to Keith Dutch, who claimed the prized wicket of Dale after tea. But Shaw and Robert Croft added 81 before the England off-spinner was bowled by Johnson from the last ball of the day.
