| Glamorgan 256 for 7 (Carlson 101*, Morgan 51*, Napier 4-46) v Essex Scorecard Delayed at the start of the day by the absence of Glamorgans equipment from the ground, Essex were delayed at the end by the presence of a record-breaking teenager at the crease. Needing six points to confirm promotion and the Division Two title, Essex managed two in short order before Kiran Carlsons maiden first-class hundred staved off a seemingly inexorable collapse. At 18 years and 119 days, Carlson became the youngest player to score a first-class century for Glamorgan.These are heady days at the ECG but Essex are not yet champions and Carlsons unheralded intervention - his previous best score in four innings was 10 - meant the metaphorical bunting that was being brought out by the time Graham Napiers fourth wicket reduced Glamorgan to 83 for 6 had to be stowed away by the close. As if to compound the frustration Napier, playing in his last home match before retirement, limped off during the afternoon and will have to wait until the morning to find out how much more of a role he can play.A club that have become so used to near misses have embraced their status as frontrunners warily. The Essex members who had seen their team finish third in each of the last three seasons were convinced that, with only one promotion spot available as the ECB whittles away a couple of games from the Championship schedule, this would doubtless be the year they finished second. Three innings wins in a row at the climax of the season - not to mention Kents welcome capitulation against Northamptonshire last week - has grudgingly brought people around.They have become used to waiting, however, and the news that the start would be put back, ultimately by an hour and a half, because Glamorgans kit van was stuck on the A12 was met with ironic chuckles by those Essex fans who had got in early to see every moment of a game that is expected to be a coronation. Bonus points alone could be enough to see Essex go up - they lead Kent, who only have one game left, by 20 points and Sussex by 43 - and this game pitted the team with the most wins in Division Two against the team with the most losses.Napier began the first spell of his final appearance at Chelmsford with two wickets in two balls and it was all beginning to seem disconcertingly easy. It took the contributions of a couple of young Welshmen to give the Essex worry ball a squeeze, as Carlson and Owen Morgan put on an unbroken 129 during the second half of a shortened day. Truly a case of better late than never for Glamorgan.Carlson took a five-for with his offspin on debut at Northamptonshire a couple of weeks ago but this performance, eclipsing that of Mike Llewellyn in 1972, was less of a surprise. Batting at No. 6, he produced several stylish drives and cuts among plenty of watchful accumulation that was capped off by a scampered single to bring up three figures and an ovation from his team-mates on the balcony.I am more of a batsman, its lovely to get my first hundred under my belt pretty soon into my career, he said. Its amazing, I cant put into words how I feel. When you start playing cricket, aged seven or eight, you go and watch Glamorgan and think that could be me in a few years. Its great to have Welsh boys doing well.To emphasise the latter point, his team-mate Morgan then went on to conduct an interview in Welsh. Both players gave chances, with Carlson dropped on 67 in the gully by Daniel Lawrence - a sharp catch that would have given Napier his five-for - and coming close to running himself out on 81. Morgan was put down at second slip when he had 7, by Nick Browne off Ravi Bopara, and gave a tough caught-and-bowled opportunity to Jamie Porter when had reached his half-century.Glamorgans young batsmen are making their mark. Carlson was the fourth Glamorgan player aged 22 or under to score a first-class hundred this season and three of them are Welsh born: reasons for pride in a challenging season.After a sorry morning session (which technically began at noon), it appeared losing their bats on the motorway had been Glamorgans best chance of holding Essex up. A great cheer went up from the pavilion when the van was spotted driving in through the gate shortly before 11.30am - an hour after the scheduled start due to an accident on the motorway - and it was as if the Chelmsford regulars knew what was in store.Glamorgan were initially compliant extras. Jacques Rudolph requested a toss, doubtless concluding that the pitch was firm enough and the sun high enough to bankroll a day of batting if only the opening exchanges against the new ball could be won; he and Nick Selman then got through nearly a dozen overs of fretful playing and missing before Napier, the local hero and man for this season of all seasons, took centre stage.His fifth delivery was full and wide - it is probably not a calumny to call it a half-volley - but Rudolphs flailing bat could only deflect a thick edge to second slip. The next ball, to Will Bragg, offered no such margin for error and thudded into the front pad, Steve OShaugnessys front finger duly raised. Graham Gooch, watching on from the executives boxes, might well have repeated his enquiry to Ian Botham in 1986: Who writes your scripts?The slide became 3 for 0 in six balls when Selman was bowled by Porter - Essexs other 50-wicket bowler this year - and although Aneurin Donald stroked Napiers hat-trick delivery through the covers for four, he followed David Lloyd back to the pavilion a couple of overs later as the carefully piloted Glamorgan dirigible plummeted from the cautious optimism of 30 for 0 to the grim reality of 34 for 5. It was all too much for one wag to resist the question: their kit has turned up but have Glamorgan? Time for Carlson and Morgan to deliver a pithy riposte. Authentic Steelers Super Bowl 52 Jerseys . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break.

Womens Steelers Super Bowl Jerseys . The Browns coaching search remains incomplete. James Washington Jersey . Despite the cost, effort and an improved steroid test, its possible that very few -- if any -- positives will be detected, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press in an interview. "We just dont know what the results from Torino will be," Budgett said. Its been seemingly one distraction after another for West Ham United, who will once more try to find some consistency at their new home Saturday against an in-form Stoke City side seeking their fourth win on the bounce in Premier League play.The Hammers (3-1-6) are barely above the drop in 17th place courtesy their start in which they dropped five of their first six matches. The London side was denied a fourth consecutive win in all competitions last weekend with a 2-0 loss at Everton in which they conceded second-half goals to Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley.The inconsistencies have left West Ham looking nothing like the team that surprised many to a sixth-place finish last season and a Europa League playoff spot. And the team is once again dealing with off-field distractions on two fronts, one the scary incident in which injured striker Andy Carroll appeared to be the target of armed motorcyclists and led them on a high-speed chase back to the teams training grounds. The other, the on-going problems of fan violence at Olympic Stadium following the teams 2-1 victory over Chelsea in the League Cup.It was scary what happened, but he is OK, manager Slaven Bilic said of Carroll. What can I say? I will treat it as a one-off accident that happened. He was probably targeted. I dont think it was a coincidence. It was like a chase for 15 or 20 minutes and it was probably planned.He was very brave to do what he did, and he came back to the training ground and it stopped. He is good and OK, though, and he acted like a really brave man.The fan violence has forced West Ham to alter their segregated seating plans for visiting Stoke supporters. Seven people were arrested following the Chelsea match, and the disturbances have flared up for three matches running.It might help, but thats the only thing we can do; the club has done everything, Bilic said when asked about the alterations. There was enough, obvious segregation between our fans and the Chelsea fans. The club is going to make an even bigger gap and thats all the club can do.On the pitch, Bilics concern is trying to ignite an offence that has accounted for just 10 goals in league play and scored more than one gooal on just two occasions thus far.ddddddddddddWe are not scoring many goals and we are creating chances. But I would rather have us creating chances and waiting for a moment to convert them than not create them at all, he said.Stoke City (3-3-4), meanwhile, have fought to the middle of the table on the strength of their current surge and are unbeaten in their last five (3-2-0) following a four-match losing streak. The Potters swept aside Swansea City 3-1 on Monday as Wilfried Bony bagged a brace on either side of halftime.Having Bony open his account came at an opportune time for the Potters since Marko Arnautovic will serve a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation. But even without the Austria international, manager Mark Hughes is confident his team can find a way to notch a positive result in London.Weve had a run now of five games where we have been in a position where we feel our capabilities should be and we will be looking to maintain that, he told Stokes official website. It wont be easy, West Ham at home have sorted their act out a little bit, they struggled initially but have had a couple of good results there themselves.If youre going to go to difficult places, which this is a little bit of an unknown clearly with their new stadium, then you have to make sure you go there with confidence and thats what we are at the moment.Bilic is wary of containing midfielder Joe Allen, who leads the Potters with four goals and will be part of Wales squad for World Cup qualifying next week.He is playing really good, scoring and creating goals, Bilic noted. He scored for Wales against Austria and a few for Stoke and he is the link between the midfield and attack … he is one of their main players, especially now that Arnautovic is suspended and he is maybe their best player.Stoke City are unbeaten in their last six top-flight matches (3-3-0) versus West Ham, and the teams played to a scoreless draw at Upton Park in last seasons corresponding fixture. The Hammers are winless in their last four at home (0-3-1) against the Potters.
