    It's been a long haul back for Glamorgan after an amazing start from Bears captain Ed Barnard who took four wickets in his first eight overs and bowled his full allocation of 10 on the bounce.

    Three of them were smart slip catches by Rob Yates, who then shelled an easier chance to get rid of Colin Ingram on 16.

    The South African then hit a fluent 47 off 53 before being trapped lbw by Kiwi Michael Rae.

    A half-century stand between Billy Root and Ben Kellaway has given hope of a respectable total on a used pitch, with spinner Jake Lintott treated harshly. But Kellaway was then bowled when the Bears turned to seam again and brought back OHD.

    Somerset 215-2 (40 overs) v Leics

    Goldsworthy and Rew are putting the foot down here with 10 overs to go.

    A fifth four inside 11 balls brings up a sixth half century for Rew, his sixth half century of the tournament.

    Glamorgan 153-6 (37 overs) v Warwickshire

    That wicket by Olly Hannon-Dalby has pegged Glamorgan back when they were just beginning to gain some momentum - now it's more a case of making sure they bat out their 50 overs.

    However, Dan Douthwaite has just clubbed OHD back down the ground for four to lift the total above 150.

    Next target is to get above 200 and you'd think Billy Root, who is 40 not out, will have to stay there for most of the rest of the innings.

    Somerset's Lewis Goldsworthy hit his third One-Day Cup half-century in this year's competition

    Lewis Goldsworthy crashes a four through extra cover off Scriven for his third 50 of the tournament.

    Much needed because, until then, Somerset were struggling to get the ball away cleanly.

    James Rew is struggling to time Liam Trevaskis on the sweep and the speedo was stuck at under five an over.

    Vic Marks, on commentary, predicts a "slow burning thriller" but the former Somerset and England all-rounder is struggling to sound too confident.

    Sensing the need to break this partnership, Warwickshire have brought back Olly Hannon-Dalby, whose first spell was incredibly economical for no reward in the 'wickets' column.

    That's changed now, as OHD sends down a ball that jags back and hits the top of Ben Kellaway's middle stump.

    Good knock by Kellaway, who departs for 23 from 30 balls - and Glamorgan will need more of the same from new man Dan Douthwaite.

  6. Postpublished at 13:23 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 178-2 (36 overs) v Leics

    Just four from that over from Ian Holland and there is a little bit of a spring in the step of the Leicestershire players at the changeover.

    Somerset need to up this rate which is 4.95 if they are to get near 300.

    A dozen an over gets them there but with the bowlers taking pace off the ball that looks a stiff task.

  7. 50 runs

    Half-century stand for Root & Kellawaypublished at 13:18 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 140-5 (33 overs) v Warwickshire

    In no time at all - well, 45 balls, strictly speaking - Billy Root and Ben Kellaway have put together a 50 partnership.

    Both have continued to plunder runs against Jake Lintott, with Root drilling him through the covers for four and Kellaway adding a boundary of his own with a well-judged late cut.

    If Glamorgan can clamber up to somewhere in the region of 250, this could be a very interesting contest.

  8. 6 runs

    First maximum of the daypublished at 13:12 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 169-2 (34.3 overs) v Leics

    First rope clearance of the day for the hosts, Lewis Goldsworthy hoiking Chris Wright back over his head straight.

    Also brings up the 50 partnership with James Rew, which has come in a shade over eight overs.

  9. Postpublished at 13:11 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 128-5 (31 overs) v Warwickshire

    Billy Root is giving the Cardiff crowd something to cheer as we move into the final 20 overs of the Glamorgan innings.

    Root began patiently, but he's opened his shoulders since and pumps a wide Jake Lintott long-hop for four before driving the next delivery to the rope as well.

    A brief scare for Root later in the over, though, as he drills another loose delivery just over the outstretched hand of Ed Barnard at mid-on.

    It would have been a sensational catch but then the Bears captain is having that sort of day so far...

  10. 150 runs

    150 up for Somersetpublished at 13:08 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 162-2 (34 overs) v Leics

    Goldsworthy brings up the 150 mark for Somerset - from a misfield on the midwicket boundary off Chris Wright.

    Goldsworthy and Rew are looking to up the pace with just over 16 overs remaining and they probably need to.

  11. Postpublished at 13:03 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 112-5 (29 overs) v Warwickshire

    Warwickshire continue to switch between seam and spin and now Jake Lintott is back on for his third over - the first two cost him 15.

    This one goes for five, which Glamorgan will certainly settle for as they try and build some kind of defendable total.

    Billy Root is 20 not out, with Ben Kellaway on eight.

    Somerset 148-2 (32.3 overs) v Leics

    It is difficult to say who has their noses in front in this one.

    None of the batsmen have really broken free, the ball is holding in the pitch a little and neither side could be said to be either up against the wall or cruising.

    Wickets in hand still give the hosts some comfort and while the old 'double the score at 30 overs' gives them in the region of 270, you get the feeling they might need more at a ground where chasing could be preferable.

  13. 100 runs

    100 up for Glamorganpublished at 12:56 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 100-5 (27 overs) v Warwickshire

    A welcome landmark for the home side as Ben Kellaway drives Michael Booth crisply through the off side for three runs and brings the total into three figures.

    It goes without saying that Glamorgan would have preferred to get to 100 without five men back in the hutch, however.

    WICKET: Ingram lbw b Rae 47published at 12:50 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 90-5 (25.3 overs) v Warwickshire

    After four wickets for Ed Barnard, it's the turn of Michael Rae to weigh in with the big wicket of Colin Ingram!

    Rae gets the ball to keep low and pin the left-hander in front of his stumps - exactly what Glamorgan didn't need just three balls after the drinks break.

    That ends the partnership of 46 and brings Ben Kellaway in to join Billy Root.

  15. Postpublished at 12:43 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 89-4 (25 overs) v Warwickshire

    After two overs of spin from Jake Lintott, the Bears have reverted to an all-seam approach, with Michael Booth back on for his second spell.

    Booth concedes two singles as we reach the drinks break, with Warwickshire very much on top despite this mini-fightback from Colin Ingram and Billy Root - on 47 and 12 respectively.

    Another one for the Foxes.

    Having reached his half century Andy Umeed fails to kick on holing out off Roman Walker.

    Ian Holland taked a tumbling catch running back from mid on.

    It could prove to be a decent blow for the visitors, with Somerset a little short of where they might wish to be approaching the 30-over stage.

    The wicket brings James Rew to the crease to join Lewis Goldsworthy, which should shift things on a bit.

  17. Postpublished at 12:36 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 84-4 (23 overs) v Warwickshire

    Michael Rae, who's back with Warwickshire for his second spell of the summer, is looking lively so far. The New Zealand seamer's bowled a good line in his first two overs, which have yielded five runs.

    Despite that, Glamorgan are ticking along nicely at the moment, with both Colin Ingram and Billy Root punching Jake Lintott for boundaries in his last over.

    The pair have now added 40 as we approach the halfway stage of the innings.

  18. 50 runs

    Andy Umeed's half-centurypublished at 12:32 British Summer Time 18 August

    Somerset 111-1 (24.3 overs) v Leics

    Half century for Somerset opener Andy Umeed from 69 balls.

    Playing the anchor role here, he really needs to be looking to kick on to raise his bat again if he is to do the job needed with others playing around him.

    Umeed has three half-centuries in this competition this season, as well as his 114 not out against Kent in July so the portents look decent for a telling contribution.

  19. Postpublished at 12:30 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 72-4 (21 overs) v Warwickshire

    Our first over of spin at Sophia Gardens as Ed Barnard replaces himself with left-arm twirler Jake Lintott.

    Lintott mixes it up a bit, conceding four singles as Colin Ingram advances to 37 not out, with Billy Root on six.

  20. 50 runs

    Glammy go past 50 - but four downpublished at 12:22 British Summer Time 18 August

    Glamorgan 64-4 (19 overs) v Warwickshire

    So far, Colin Ingram is certainly capitalising on that life he was given by Rob Yates - the left-hander dispatches successive balls from Michael Booth to the rope to take Glamorgan's total beyond 50.

    Billy Root, meanwhile, is doing just what his side need him to do at the other end - namely, to preserve his wicket. He's just got off the mark with a crunching cover boundary off Ed Barnard.

    Good news for the home side is that Barnard has already bowled his full allocation of 10 overs, ending with the impressive figures of 4-34.

    He is now the tournament's leading wicket-taker with 19.
