Sam Northeast is just one run short of equalling the highest score in Glamorgan's history as he hit an unbeaten 308 against Leicestershire.
Northeast, who shared a partnership worth 308 with Colin Ingram, has helped Glamorgan to 563/5 at the end of play on day three and could write his name into the Glamorgan history books tomorrow by scoring just another two runs.
"It feels brilliant to have a treble century, getting the first double of my career was a real highlight but to go on and make it a triple was very special," said Northeast.
"It was nice to bat with Colin Ingram who played unbelievably well but we were under pressure at one stage, we managed to ride that, get past the follow-on and have a bit of fun at the end of the day.
"I didn't think I'd be getting a thousand (for the season) today, there was clapping from the changing room but I didn't realise it was for the thousand, so it's really special to achieve that in the first season at Glamorgan.
"If (the record) happens, it would be an honour to go past (Steve James), but we've got a bit of work to do. It's a very good pitch but if we get ahead you never know, we can put them under a bit of pressure."
