Zain ul Hassan "Comfortable" After Long Road to Maiden Century

Coming into the game against Hampshire, ul Hassan had 31 games in first-class cricket under his belt and a top score of 69, one of four fifties. His time spent at the top of the order in the County Championship since joining Glamorgan was new territory for the all-rounder.

His controlled innings in a mammoth day in which Glamorgan piled on 353 for 1 at the Utilita Bowl was epitomised by the partnership between the Pakistan-born opener and his captain Kiran Carlson, eventually combining for 318 before the ul Hassan's innings could only be halted by a direct hit from the boundary with ul Hassan having made 143.
