SAM NORTHEAST notched only the second triple-hundred in Glamorgan history as his side closed day three of their County Championship match on 563 for five in reply to Leicestershire's 584. The 32-year-old eclipsed his previous best of 191 before finishing on 308 not out — one short of matching Steve James's 309 not out in 2000 as the highest first-class score for Glamorgan. He shared a 306-run partnership for the third wicket with Colin Ingram, who made 139, smashing the club record against Leicestershire of 242 set by Steve James and Matthew Maynard in 1995, before an unbroken stand of 229 with Chris Cooke. Meanwhile, Washington Sundar capped a memorable Lancashire debut, following up a five-wicket haul with a match-winning 34 not out as the Red Rose secured a four-wicket win over Northamptonshire at the County Ground.
