Match scorecard

---

Wicketkeeper Niall O'Brien was stranded on 99 when bad light ended day two with Northants 74 behind Glamorgan at 213-4.

Johan van der Wath took a fifth wicket as Glamorgan added only a single with the last pair and were all out for 287.

O'Brien hit Adam Shantry for six fours in 16 balls, and shared an unbroken 110 with stand-in skipper Lance Klusener who hit 11 fours in an undefeated 62.

Klusener was dropped twice by David Hemp but reached fifty from 79 balls, O'Brien striking 11 fours in total.

When Shantry collected his third wicket, as Riki Wessels edged to second slip after lunch, Northants were reduced to 103-4.

Overcast skies greeted play after tea with Klusener and O'Brien taking the hosts past 200 before bad light stopped play after 73 overs.

The teams returned after only a 10-minute delay, but only four balls were bowled before proceedings ended for the day.
