    County Championship: Rahane, Handscomb fight to save Leicestershire against Glamorgan

    What's the story

    Leicestershire's international cricket stars, Ajinkya Rahane and Peter Handscomb, are putting up a strong fight to prevent their team's defeat against Glamorgan.

    The County Championship Division Two match was interrupted due to poor light conditions with 21.2 overs remaining in the third day's play.

    At this point, Rahane had scored an unbeaten 47 runs while Handscomb was not out on 33 runs.

    This left Leicestershire at 144 for three wickets, still trailing by 155 runs.

    Record performance

    Glamorgan's Ingram shines with record-breaking double-ton 

    Earlier in the match, Glamorgan's Colin Ingram delivered an outstanding batting performance.

    He remained unbeaten on a personal best of 257 runs as Glamorgan declared their innings at 550 for nine wickets.

    This left them with a substantial lead of 299 runs.

    Notably, Leicestershire could only manage 251 in their first outing as Timm van der Gugten and Dan Douthwaite dismissed four batters each.

    Missed opportunities

    Crane's missed catches may impact Glamorgan's victory

    Glamorgan leg-spinner Mason Crane dropped both Rahane and Handscomb, potentially impacting Glamorgan's chances of victory on the final day.

    The two missed catches came off his own bowling, adding to a total of three dropped catches by Crane in this match.

    Earlier, he had contributed 49 runs to Glamorgan's total before being dismissed in an unfortunate manner when Rehan Ahmed deflected Ingram's shot onto the stumps.

    Partnership

    Leicestershire's challenging start and Rahane-Handscomb partnership

    Leicestershire faced a daunting task when they began their innings, with opening bowler Ian Holland also opening the batting.

    Despite an impressive start from Timm van der Gugten and Fraser Sheat, it was Dan Douthwaite who made the first breakthrough for Glamorgan.

    This set the stage for Rahane and Handscomb's partnership, which has become crucial in Leicestershire's attempt to avoid defeat.
