Bracey and Akhter Rally Gloucestershire After Glamorgan Fightback

A spirited seventh-wicket stand of 96 between James Bracey (57*) and Zaman Akhter (58) rescued Gloucestershire from a collapse on day one against Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens. After Mason Crane’s incisive 3 for 55 tore through the middle order and reduced the visitors to 179 for 6, Bracey and Akhter countered with an aggressive partnership to lift the total to 279 for 7 at stumps. Earlier, Cameron Bancroft’s fifth successive half-century anchored a solid start, but a disciplined bowling display turned the tide before Gloucestershire’s late resurgence kept the contest finely balanced.
