Kiran Carlson made his Glamorgan debut against Northamptonshire in 2016 Rothesay County Championship, Division One, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (day four).

Glamorgan 358 & 197-3: Carlson 67, Ingram 61*; Chahar 2-57

Surrey 105 & 447 (following on): Burns 115, Pope 73, Lawes 66*; Hadley 4-82

Glamorgan (22 pts) beat Surrey (2 pts) by seven wickets. Glamorgan earned their first ever Championship win over Surrey at Sophia Gardens as they notched up a seven-wicket win. The target of 195 was more than looked likely before a strong Surrey comeback, but captain Kiran Carlson hit 67 and Colin Ingram 61 not out to ease Welsh worries.

Surrey had reached 447 in their second innings on the final day, with last man and sub Tom Lawes hitting 66 not out, while Ryan Hadley claimed 4-82. Glamorgan's last red-ball victory over Surrey in Cardiff was at Cardiff Arms Park in 1960, with a most recent home success at Swansea in 1983. It was Glamorgan's third Championship win of the season in eight matches and Surrey's second defeat.

Surrey began with a precarious lead of 145 but Glamorgan posted a relatively defensive field, with Lawes and Clark appearing in little difficulty. Lawes, a mid-match sub for England call-up Gus Atkinson, was striking the ball sweetly with 10 fours to belie his number eleven position - after Surrey used two nightwatchmen. They had set a new tenth wicket record for Surrey against Glamorgan of 105 by the time Clark (36) skied departing Australian paceman Hadley to Chris Cooke to end Glamorgan's travails.

Glamorgan's pursuit started disastrously when Billy Root was run out off the fourth ball as he went for a leg-bye and finished at the same end as Asa Tribe. Carlson and Tribe took an active approach in their stand of 71, despite having moments of difficulty against Dan Lawrence. But it was fellow spinner Chahar who made the breakthrough when Tribe (30) edged a defensive push to wicketkeeper Ollie Pope. Ingram nearly played on to Chahar, but took advantage of a few loose deliveries from the Indian international including a six over long-on.

His stand with Carlson was worth 62 by the time the Glamorgan skipper was bowled round his legs sweeping at Chahar, but with just 62 needed at that stage it was too late to revive any real hopes for the visitors. Ingram, who had not fielded at all because of a finger injury in the first innings, sped Glamorgan to the target alongside Sean Dickson (26 not out).

The result was particularly welcome for the Welsh county given they had started the game eighth in Division One, with the two sides below them - Leicestershire and Hampshire - also taking winning points. Glamorgan were set to be in fourth in a closely-packed table with Surrey seventh, before the teams resume T20 action.

Kiran Carlson told BBC Sport Wales: "We were always going to expect Surrey to fight hard, it was a pretty good wicket with a bit of spin though both teams were expecting it to break up slightly more, so nice to knock them off today. There were a few tired bodies and minds after nearly 180 overs in the field, but it was nice to put a few partnerships together and get over the line. All the lads are buzzing to come away with a win against a very strong team. It's awesome (to get the first Championship win over Surrey on the ground), especially after last week's defeat. We knew it was going to be a very tough game, there were ebbs and flows, and I thought it was a very good game on a good cricket wicket. We always knew these two games in the middle were going to be telling, we got outplayed at Sussex so nice to bounce back."

Gareth Batty, Surrey coach, told BBC Radio London: "A 250 deficit in first division cricket is always going to take some dragging back, we made a pretty good first of it in our second innings and for certain periods today we had a red-hot go at forcing something more positive. The pitch did play well but I don't think we fully understood what was required to take 10 wickets, and probably pushed a little hard in the second session of the day to force the wickets instead of being a bit more patient. It wasn't a lack of desire, we didn't quite get it right. There's been key moments in pretty much every game where we've said that surfaces are defeating us, but we're possibly defeating ourselves at times by not grabbing hold of the key moments. Possibly it's the fact that success has come quite freely in the last period of time and we might be thinking we're doing enough without quite doing it. Credit to Glamorgan, they were hustling, dynamite in the field and made it very hard for us."
