Liam Patterson-White claimed three wickets as Nottinghamshire finally broke a spirited Glamorgan rearguard to take victory by 192 runs in their first home Rothesay County Championship game of 2026.
After the visitors had resumed on 132-2, chasing a nominal target of 478, they resisted through 62.5 overs of the final day before Patterson-White made Mason Crane his third scalp shortly before 4:00pm to spark delighted celebrations at a sunlit Trent Bridge.
The left-arm spinner ended with miserly figures of 3/13 from 12.5 overs, while Lyndon James, in the side on the final day as a substitute for Fergus O’Neill, who suffered a rib injury, returned 2/36 and Brett Hutton collected 2/63.
It added up to seeing the hosts claim the last eight Glamorgan wickets on a day of ebb and flow, with the morning session having seen a collapse of 3/13.
After captain Kiran Carlson had fallen for 19 to Dillon Pennington off a thin outside edge to Kyle Verreynne, Hutton claimed the sizeable scalp of Asa Tribe for 85 by forcing a chop-on.
Colin Ingram followed, caught by Verreynne off Hutton, and with the day not even five overs old, Notts were already well into the Glamorgan middle order.
Chris Cooke and Sean Dickson resisted for a further hour, only to both fall before lunch to James, who pinned the former lbw for 19 before tempting the latter into a wild hook and seeing him caught by Hutton at fine leg for 22.
Crane and Timm van der Gugten managed to survive through to lunch and for ten overs of the afternoon to at least restore a modicum of respectability, but the end was nigh when the latter became Patterson-White’s first wicket, lbw for 25.
The Welsh outfit were still at that point less than halfway to their enormous target, and when Andy Gorvin was bowled for 20 by Patterson-White on the stroke of tea, it permitted play to continue as Notts sought their final prize.
It took them only four overs to obtain it as Crane was lbw to Patterson-White for 39, allowing the celebrations to begin and confirming a haul of 20 points was on its way to Trent Bridge.
