County Championship Division Two, Colwyn Bay (stumps, day two): Glamorgan 329-9 v Worcestershire 460
Glamorgan battled back from seeing Worcestershire add 83 for their last wicket and reduce them to 162-6 to give themselves some hope at Colwyn Bay.
They ended day two on 329-9, a deficit of 131 but it could have been worse.
First Daryl Mitchell (134no) and number 11 Nadeem Malik made the home bowlers toil to extend Worcs' total to 460.
Then Glamorgan's batting struggled on a good track before wicket-keeper Mark Wallace hit 48 and Alex Wharf a fighting 86 to save the follow-on.
Earlier, Mark Cosgrove felll lbw to the second ball of the innings playing no shot to Zaheer Khan, who claimed his 60th first-class victim of the season.
Even the in-form Michael Powell, fresh from making 628 championship runs in the space of 11 days last month, lasted only 17 balls before he was bowled through the gate to make it wicket number 61.
That came after a frustrating opening 72 minutes for the Welsh county in which Mitchell did a good job in farming the bowling to reach his maiden Championship century from 233 balls, with 13 fours.
