Glamorgan County Cricket Club in 2005
The sixth-placed Middlesex inflicted the ninth defeat of the season on Glamorgan at Sophia Gardens, and their second of three innings defeats. After winning the toss, Ed Smith dominated proceedings in the first hour, making 29 in an opening stand of 40 before he was bowled by Huw Waters, Ben Hutton and Owais Shah made a partnership of 109 to lift Middlesex, and their batting line-up from one to nine all made it past 25 as the score finished on 534 - Shah finishing on 101, his third of seven Championship centuries, Kenyan-born Jamie Dalrymple scoring a season-high 108, and number nine Peter Trego smacking 72 off 54 balls - also a season-best. When Glamorgan batted, Trego took three wickets in the first two hours, to end with three for 52, and Scott Styris helped to dismiss the Glamorgan tail, removing numbers six, eight and nine to take three for 42. Only Robert Croft passed 25 - making 84 off 76 balls with 72 runs in boundaries - as Glamorgan were bowled out for 232 in a session and a half and were asked to follow on.
