Glamorgan beat Middlesex by three wickets
T20 report from Lord's
by Layth Yousif

ON A SUNNY evening at Lord’s, veteran Sam Northeast steered his Glamorgan side to a three wicket T20 victory over perennially frustrating Middlesex.

In front of a decent-sized attendance in St John’s Wood on a rare night of pleasant summer weather, the 34-year-old hit a fast-paced 67 off 45 balls, supplemented by Kiran Carson’s lively 54 off only 24. 

Northeast, arguably the finest English batter on the circuit never to have been recognised by England, made it more than 400 runs at the Home of Cricket this season, following the right-handed bat’s remarkable 335 not out during the side’s county championship match in April.
