Yorkshire Dominate Glamorgan on Day One, Hill Stars with 90

Yorkshire asserted their dominance on the opening day of their County Championship clash against Glamorgan, amassing a formidable 361 runs before being dismissed. George Hill anchored the innings with a resolute 90, while four other batsmen contributed valuable runs.

Glamorgan's bowlers struggled to contain Yorkshire's batting onslaught, with Andy Gorvin emerging as the pick of the bowlers with four wickets. Timm van der Gugten also chipped in with two late wickets to keep the Yorkshire innings in check.

Yorkshire's innings got off to a promising start as Adam Lyth and Finlay Bean forged a 67-run opening partnership. However, Gorvin's medium-fast bowling proved to be a thorn in their side, dismissing both openers in similar fashion.

James Wharton looked set for a substantial score but was caught at long leg after hooking James Harris. Jonny Bairstow, playing for Yorkshire despite being omitted from England's ODI squad, fell cheaply to Gorvin's bowling.

Glamorgan's luck turned when Mason Crane's long hop was somehow caught by wicketkeeper Chris Cooke off Jonathan Tattersall's body. However, the skipper's disappointment was evident as he departed for 41.

Hill and Dom Bess steadied the Yorkshire innings with a century stand, but Bess was dismissed lbw trying to sweep Crane. Hill continued to impress, but van der Gugten eventually dismissed him with the second new ball.

Glamorgan openers Sam Northeast and Asa Tribe survived the last two overs of the day, leaving their side trailing by 349 runs.
