Super Sam Northeast smashes records with stunning 410 not out for Glamorgan in nail-biting win over Leicestershire

Sam Northeast produced a once-in-a-lifetime innings of 410 not out to smash the record of the highest individual score by a Glamorgan batsman in their stunning County Championship win over Leicestershire.

The Welsh county amassed an incredible 795-5 declared, in response to Leicestershire's first-innings score of 584, during which Northeast produced one of the all-time great Glamorgan innings.

The previous highest score for Glamorgan was held by ex-England opener Steve James, who hit 309 not out against Sussex at Colwyn Bay back in 2000. In racking up the monumental total, former Hampshire batsman Northeast scored 258 runs in a single day, the most by any single batsman in one day for Glamorgan.
