After a weekend of wild celebrations, Yorkshire played as if their heads had not quite cleared at Headingley yesterday when they lost by nine wickets to Glamorgan Dragons, who re-established themselves at the top of Division One of the Norwich Union League.

In completing an easy double over Phoenix, Glamorgan required only 24.1 overs to reach a 168 target and it would have been an even easier task, but for a record Yorkshire last-wicket partnership of 64 between captain Richard Blakey and Ryan Sidebottom.

The rally ended when Blakey attempted to hit a second consecutive six off Robert Croft and was caught at long on for a brave 47 off 76 balls leaving Sidebottom unbeaten on a career-best 30.

Although Yorkshire were given an excellent start of 35 in seven overs between Craig White and Matthew Wood, they were then routed by 21-year-old all-rounder David Harrison, who returned astonishing figures of five for 26.

The England U19s player went on to show his talents as a batsman by hitting a sparkling 37 not out off 35 balls during an unbroken second-wicket stand of 66 in ten overs with opener Ian Thomas, who finished on 55 from 68 balls.

Glamorgan were certainly in no mood to mess around and Croft and Thomas soon launched a furious assault on Steven Kirby and Tim Bresnan with 14 coming off one bizarre over from Kirby who bowled a no-ball to Thomas which he hit for a single.

The 'free hit' to Croft was another no-ball and this was clubbed for four, the original 'free-hit' being held over until the next delivery which knocked out Croft's leg stump and went for a bye.

At 85 in the 12th over, Sidebottom put down a right-handed return catch from Thomas and in the following over Croft completed his 50 with his tenth boundary. He went on to strike Sidebottom over mid-wicket for six, but was then bowled for 59 giving himself too much room.

Chris Silverwood confirmed that he is now out for the season with his injured ankle and he expects to have an operation this week to remove a piece of floating bone
