But Hammond and Bancroft turned the tables by staging a mammoth third-wicket stand of 201 in 36.1 overs as the pitch flattened out and overhead conditions improved, in the process slamming the door shut on Welsh ambition.Hammond raised an enterprising 121, while Bancroft finished unbeaten on 159 from 221 balls and helped add 170 for the fourth wicket with James Bracey, who posted 90 not out from 117 balls as Gloucestershire reached the close on 388 for 3, a commanding lead of 370 with two days still to play.Cheltenham-born Hammond has a special affinity with the festival, having registered his maiden hundred at the College Ground in only his fourth first-class match in 2018. His fifth Championship hundred was a classy affair indeed, the elegant left hander adopting a positive approach to provide delighted festival devotees with rich pickings the like of which they dared not imagine when 17 wickets fell on the first day.Driving fluently almost from the get-go, Hammond saw off the threat posed by van der Gugten and flourished, going to a 53-ball 50 with his ninth four, a flowing drive through long-on at the expense of Marnus Labuschagne. As he grew in confidence and conditions improved, so he expanded his repertoire, a trio of audacious slog-sweeps netting him three sixes at the expense of Mason Crane and Dan Douthwaite, who suffered horribly and were withdrawn from the attack.Hammond's second 50 occupied just 41 balls and, as the crowd rose to acclaim his second hundred of the season, he sank to one knee and delivered a fist pump before raising his bat in acknowledgment and receiving a heartfelt hug of congratulation from Bancroft.Cast in the role of chief support, the Australian also played with assurance, timing the ball beautifully and going to a 70-ball half century in the grand manner, pulling Douthwaite over the square leg boundary for six, a shot that also brought up the 100 partnership.Adept at finding the gaps and rotating the strike, Bancroft proved the perfect foil to Hammond, who was in his pomp as the 200 partnership came up off 216 balls. All good things come to an end though, and Kiran Carlson, the seventh bowler deployed by Glamorgan skipper Sam Northeast, broke the partnership in his first over from the Chapel End, Hammond skying a catch to mid-on, having accrued 17 fours and a quartet of sixes in a sparkling innings spanning 110 deliveries.Although Bancroft's advance to three figures was a rather more sedate affair, his contribution was every bit as important, confirming as it did the dominance of bat over ball for the first time in the contest. His hundred occupied 143 balls, included a six and 10 fours, and was greeted with much glee by Gloucestershire supporters.Aware of the need to bat on and put the game beyond Glamorgan's reach, Bracey played responsibly, reaching 50 from 68 balls, while Bancroft went to 150 via 211 balls as Gloucestershire stamped their authority in a final session that yielded 165 runs without loss.Resuming on 133 for 7 in the morning, Glamorgan were 46 behind and with plenty of work still to be done if they were to achieve the minimum requirement of first-innings parity. In the event, they were indebted to Crane who, when it was needed most, staged a forthright innings of 44 from 56 balls and dominated a progressive stand of 52 in 10.1 overs with Andy Gorvin for the ninth wicket to put his team in credit.Marchant de Lange struck an early blow for the home side, wicketkeeper Bracey claiming his fifth catch to remove van der Gugten, before Beau Webster hastened a swift termination, having Gorvin held at point via a leading edge and then enticing Crane to hole out to Ajeet Singh Dale at long-on. The Australian finished with impressive figures of 5 for 17 from 10.1 overs with four maidens, while de Lange backed him up with 3 for 44. 87797387 Norwaykirkenes4640116 Cfc28bb5 0994 4975 Affa 62b0d33c62c5?fit=crop&q=80&w=780 000 DV2178268 1 Cropped Peeing Towards Russia 000 32KF4F7 646x431 Map Norway Russia ?3a4a5c&3a4a5c Norway Border Crossing To Russia Norway Borders ?Fronteras De Noruega148198286 6284b3241aa29100196a281f?width=1136&format=jpeg Norway Russia 01 K28jichglna81 Image 163113606 ?io=getty C W1536 Unease Buildup Image Russia Norway Military Border 52889dd2 015e 11ea 8324 1e09595151a0 Norway Russia Relations Map 49113406 Extr Barents 464 3 Norway Russian Border Map Close Up A8945db628f26e7491e86d1b7b46f121 Norway Russia Border Markers DSC 0156 Norway Meets Russiadig2 ?fit=625%2C469&ssl=1 Chart Map Bardufoss Kirkenes NORWAY RUSSIA MAP Scaled 4e7a5533dbb5328cc738d78719dd09ab 90506a8fb92e450391c7d84b641a5087?from=pc The Norwegian Russian Border Region Case Study Area Q640 Skynews Norway Border 4164387 ?20171123200714 3BDBFB81 B516 44F1 8625 A5851E81E227 W1024 Q10 S Russia Norway Border World Data Locator Map Norway 91548212 Norway Russia Fence
