Mason Crane was the pick of the Glamorgan attack with four wickets for 95 runs.
Crane then opened the second innings and lasted six overs. He was caught for 14 by Lammonby, fielding close in at silly point, off the bowling of Jack Leach, to the last ball of the day. Glamorgan closed on 30 for one, with Asa Tribe 16 not out from 29 balls.
