Scorecard

England paceman Jimmy Anderson delivered further evidence of his readiness for Test action with three for 40 as Glamorgan battled to 344 all out against Lancashire.

The home side finished day two on 22 for nought off 18 overs.

Dan Douthwaite (61) and Callum Taylor (58) ensured a decent total for the visitors as they added 81 for the seventh wicket.

But Anderson pinned Douthwaite lbw with the new ball.

He had started the day in the same fashion with Billy Root’s early dismissal leaving Glamorgan on the back foot at 121 for 4, Anderson then adding a slip catch to dismiss Kiran Carlson.

Most of Glamorgan’s top order got a start without being able to deliver anything more…
