11.04am - Glamorgan made the dream start to their campaign when beating Surrey but today has not gone to plan so far. After losing the toss, the home side have lost a wicket first ball with Will Gidman getting rid of Gareth Rees.
Good luck for the next 4 days @LancsCCC hopefully a fitting send off to moorsey.
