Post-Match Reactions

• Ben Kellaway: "A pretty special day, a first-class best with the bat and the ball. It was nice to get us in that position with the bat and although we didn't start the way we wanted to with the ball, we worked hard and for us to turn it round and potentially almost win at the end was special."
• Richard Dawson (Glamorgan Coach): "The game was in the balance overnight so we had to play sensibly and then put the pressure back on Derbyshire. The fourth innings was a topsy-turvy affair, it was great to see Ben Kellaway take a five-for on a spinning wicket and get runs."
