We were always confident - Lloyd

Glamorgan secured a seven-wicket victory in their LV= County Championship fixture against Nottinghamshire, their first victory in the competition at Trent Bridge in 24 years.

An unbeaten half-century from world number one Test batter Marnus Labuschagne, and 47* from Kiran Carlson, the latter striking a maximum to win the game, saw the Welsh County take 23 points back to Wales from the Midlands.

“We were always confident," said Captain David Lloyd, "But at the same time, you’re nervous because they’ve got a very strong bowling outfit and we had to work hard for the runs.

“It was a great four days, the efforts the lads put in each day were incredible and those wins are hard-fought. Marnus and Kiran both batted really nicely, played with really good intent and that’s what we needed, it was a very good chase.

"Throughout the whole squad the boys did well, although the first session didn’t go to plan after winning the toss, the bowlers showed what we’re capable of doing.

"We’ve worked hard over the winter with the mental side of the game as well, we do perform well against the big teams, we need to be consistent and the main thing for us going forward is our consistency with everything we do.”
