Glamorgan beat Yorkshire to bag home semi-final

Cliff quickly justified the decision to bowl first as he ripped out Will Smale, Asa Tribe and key man Sam Northeast in his first four overs with just 40 on the board.

Kiran Carlson (31) and Colin Ingram (18) started a counter-attack but Ingram was caught behind off George Hill and Carlson pinned lbw by Dom Leech when he looked set.

Spinner Moriarty took three quick wickets in a fine spell to reinforce the visitors’ advantage before Root and Van der Gugten (34 not out) added 56 in a belated ninth-wicket fightback, Root’s busy innings coming off just 66 balls in murky conditions.

Yorkshire’s raw top order fell apart as Van der Gugten, looking almost unplayable, and Jamie McIlroy reduced them to 11 for three inside seven overs.

Tattersall added 46 with Yash Vagadia (21), who fell to the ambidextrous Kellaway’s first left-arm delivery, and 59 with Matthew Revis in the top stand of the match as the visitors gained momentum.

But Gorvin, initially expensive, switched ends to snatch three wickets in quick succession and there was no way back despite the efforts of Dom Bess (22).

Kellaway (3-33) finished off the tail and Glamorgan could celebrate without worrying about other results.
