The first Sunday game for both these sides, two of the most attractive in English cricket, will be eagerly anticipated by both players and supporters, for Glamorgan, the reigning County Champions, will be keen to avenge their defeat in the comparable fixture last season when they lost to Kent by the narrow margin of only five runs.
Frank Bough introduces the programme, which includes news of all today's other fixtures: Derbyshire v Yorkshire; Essex v Worcestershire; Gloucestershire v Sussex; Hampshire v Somerset; Lancashire v Leicestershire; Nottinghamshire v Warwickshire; Surrey v Northamptonshire
