CULLEN CONTINUES FINE RUN OF SCORES WITH HALF CENTURY FOR SECONDS AT SOPHIA GARDENS

Henry Cullen continued his excellent run of scores for Worcestershire Seconds in their latest ECB T20 Cup encounter with Glamorgan Seconds at Sophia Gardens.

The keeper-batter followed up his scores of 36 not out and 68 not out in successive T20 matches against Somerset by top-scoring with 53 after Worcestershire had been put into bat.

Cullen came in at number four at 25-2 after openers Taylor Cornall and Reehan Edavalath had been dismissed during the powerplay.

He struck five boundaries in his 40-ball knock before being fourth out at 93.

No one else made a sizeable contribution, although Ollie Walker lifted the final total to 138-8 by making an unbeaten 18 from just nine balls.

Glamorgan opener Callum Nicholls (74 off 55 balls) led his side to a seven-wicket win with nine balls to spare.

Harry Darley (3-0-21-1), ex-Glamorgan player Joe Cooke (4-0-27-1) and Ben Clarke (1-0-5-1) were the wicket-takers for Worcestershire.

*The Seconds are again in ECB T20 Cup action tomorrow with a doubleheader against Gloucestershire Seconds at Cheltenham College.
