VIEWS FROM THE COMMENTARY BOX
BBC Radio Wales cricket correspondent Edward Bevan:
Edward Bevan's report
"Huw Waters, Glamorgan's 25-year-old opening bowler, took a career best 7-53 in Hampshire's first innings but Glamorgan have a lead of 20 over.
"Glamorgan's bowlers again performed admirably but they badly need support from their batsmen, who are yet to score 200 in an innings this season.
"Waters' performance was all the more praiseworthy as he played only three Championship games last season because of a bad back."
