Following http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851 last week, Newton’s knock again provided similar entertainment despite his stay lasting just 113 balls. He brought his century off 104 deliveries and had reached to 117 before falling just before the close of play.

Their combined 187-run accumulation came to an end in the final hour after Newton picked out substitute fielder Aneurin Norman at deep mid-wicket. Skipper and former Proteas, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Huw-Waters-c1565 – the most economical bowler for Glamorgan.
