Two words
The Tata Steel UK Business has just reported its first annual profit in something like 13 years.

The Media is reporting that it is due to strong demand post-COVID and higher steel prices. Whilst both are certainly major contributors, this past year was also the first since the separation from the Dutch, who no longer control Commercial policy and Manufacturing/Plant loadings for the UK. Coincidental?

Sam Northeast, seen by many as one of the best English players never to taste international cricket, notched the first double century of his career and converted it to only the second triple hundred in Glamorgan history as his side closed day three of their LV= Insurance County Championship match on 563 for 5 in reply to Leicestershire's 584.

The 32-year-old eclipsed his previous best of 191 for Kent against Derbyshire in 2016, finishing on 308 not out - just one short of matching Steve James' 309 not out against Sussex at Colwyn Bay in 2000 as the highest first-class score by a Glamorgan player.

He's been a terrific signing for Glam.
