PREVIEW: The Toughest Place to go

Glamorgan are crucially without jack-of-all-trades Zain ul Hassan as they travel to Taunton to take on Somerset with plenty still to play for.

Well, this is just about as hard as it gets as far as the County Championship calendar is concerned. Somerset, in Taunton, in September. Good luck.

Glamorgan need a bouncebackability after a defeat and a draw, albeit both coming in rather exceptional circumstances, against the bottom two in the league. There will be very little about fortune providing the winner of this one.

Fresh off a draw which saw an equivalent of just two days play against Hampshire, where Glamorgan were in the less favourable position by close on day four, a trip to Somerset requires much, much more.

Glamorgan have found unneeded selection issues brought by injuries added to their now existing on-field struggles brought by Zain ul Hassan’s mid-spell groin injury which saw him replaced by Mason Crane opening the batting in the second innings against Hampshire.
