Teenage seamer James Harris grabbed two wickets at the start of a rain-ruined second day in Glamorgan's LV= County Championship match against Northamptonshire at the SWALEC Stadium.

During the 15.2 overs that were possible due to persistent rain, Northamptonshire were reduced to 28 for three in their first innings in reply to Glamorgan's 308 all out.

The visitors resumed on nought without loss after surviving one over on the first evening but in the fourth over of the morning their wicketkeeper David Murphy was trapped lbw by Harris to leave them four for one.

That soon became 10 for three as Stephen Peters edged David Harrison to Jamie Dalrymple at second slip and Rob White fell leg before to Harris.

But at 12.05pm the players were forced from the field by rain and they never returned.

Umpires John Holder and Martin Bodenham finally called play off for the day at 4.15pm.
