Match scorecard
Asa Tribe hit a maiden first-class century for Glamorgan as they reached a solid 305-5 on a mostly slow-scoring day against Leicestershire.
The 21-year-old Jersey batter hit 14 fours and a six in his 107 as he led Glamorgan's efforts in the first two sessions.
Leicestershire's seamers put the brakes on in the second half of the day as the Kookaburra ball, being used for the first time in this county season, proved tough to get away.
All the Glamorgan top order got starts, but Colin Ingram was the only other batter to pass 50.
Logan van Beek, with two for 66, was the most successful Foxes bowler.

The in-form opponents made changes from their pre-T20 Blast Championship outings with Liam Trevaskis, Chris Wright and Sam Wood coming in for the Foxes while Glamorgan recalled Ingram, Ben Kellaway, Ned Leonard and Mason Crane -the leg spinner having his first red-ball outing of the season.
Tribe started brightly with a string of boundaries while Zain Ul Hassan began cautiously before upping his own scoring rate.
The pair added 98 before veteran Wright, in his second spell, had Ul Hassan caught behind down leg-side for 36, skipper Peter Handscomb wearing the gloves after leaving out specialist keeper Ben Cox.
But the afternoon session had a very different feel as Leicestershire tightened their lines with the older Kookaburra ball to see scoring rates drop.

Sam Northeast started carefully and reached 21 before being given out caught behind hooking at Wood, though the ball appeared to have come off his helmet.
Tribe was dropped behind off Ben Green on 76 before working his way responsibly towards three figures off 158 balls, reaching the landmark when he turned Liam Trevaskis to square leg for a couple.
But Logan van Beek found the edge of his bat soon afterwards and Hansdcomb took a third catch.
Tribe's dismissal saw the game drop into a lower gear as the normally attacking pair of Kiran Carlson and Colin Ingram added 60 at just over three an over before Carlson was yorked by left-arm spinner Liam Trevaskis for 43.

The Foxes strangely opted to use occasional spinner Rishi Patel to bowl for the first time in the Championship as they delayed taking the new ball for four overs.
Van Beek got a reward from the new cherry as Ben Kellaway was trapped lbw for 25 to keep the Foxes in the hunt, before Ingram reached a half-century with few flashes of his trademark aggression to keep Glamorgan slightly on top.

Injured Wallaroos pair included for World Cup campaign
Injured sevens star Charlotte Caslick has been included in the Wallaroos squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup in England, while Ashley Marsters and Trilleen Pomare have been named for their third campaign. The world No.8 Australians will open their tournament in Salford on August 23 (9pm AEST) as they look to improve on a quarter-final showing at the last tournament in 2021. Coach Jo Yapp named a 32-player squad on Monday, which includes 15 World Cup debutants. Defending Super Rugby Women's champions the NSW Waratahs will be represented by 13 players, while the ACT Brumbies have eight representatives, Queensland six, with five from Western Force. Olympic gold medal winner Caslick switched from sevens this year with the ambition of playing in her first 15-a-side World Cup, but suffered a syndesmosis injury last month that required surgery. However, she and fellow sevens convert Tia Hinds were included, along with captain Siokapesi Palu, who missed the recent two Test matches against Wales with a foot injury. It's unclear when the injured pair will be available to play. Teenage sensation Waiaria Ellis, 17, could become the youngest Wallaroo to play at a World Cup after being included in the youthful squad, which has an average age of 26. Veterans Marsters and Pomare, who both recently passed 40 Test appearances, will add some much-needed experience in their third tournament. Uncapped Reds winger Caitlin Urwin has been included after impressing for Australia A. However, there was no room for out-of-favour Waratahs playmaker Arabella McKenzie. Lock Annabelle Codey is set to follow in her father David Codey's footsteps in playing at a World Cup, while Katalina Amosa, the sister of Wallaby Brandon Paenga-Amosa, is one of three hookers named. "We are very proud of the squad and the journey the players and staff have been on for the past two years to get to this point," said Yapp, who will step away from the role after the tournament. "We have a very special group of people within this squad, diverse in culture and a range of ages and levels of experience in the game. "A World Cup is the pinnacle event in sport, and women's rugby will showcase that in England later this month. "We are ready to perform on the global stage and thank everyone who is supporting us on and off the field." The tournament is set to be the biggest-ever women's rugby event, with more than 300,000 tickets sold. Following Samoa, the Wallaroos take on USA on August 31 and top-ranked tournament hosts England on September 6 to complete their pool matches. WALLAROOS SQUAD: Katalina Amosa, Bree-Anna Browne, Charlotte Caslick, Emily Chancellor, Annabelle Codey, Lori Cramer, Piper Duck, Waiaria Ellis, Ashley Fernandez, Georgina Friedrichs, Caitlyn Halse, Tia Hinds, Brianna Hoy, Asoiva Karpani, Lydia Kavoa, Kaitlan Leaney, Michaela Leonard, Ashley Marsters, Desiree Miller, Faitala Moleka, Layne Morgan, Tania Naden, Bridie O'Gorman, Siokapesi Palu, Faliki Pohiva, Trilleen Pomare, Cecilia Smith, Maya Stewart, Adiana Talakai, Tabua Tuinakauvadra, Caitlin Urwin, Samantha Wood

England flanker Marlie Packer avoids ban for World Cup opener after red card
England have been given a boost with Marlie Packer cleared to feature in their Rugby World Cup opener after receiving a one-match ban for a red card. Packer was sent off for a dangerous clearout having been deemed to have targeted the lower leg of a Spanish player during the Red Roses' 97-7 warm-up win at Welford Road. Her dismissal led to fears that the 35-year-old flanker would be unavailable for the opening game of the upcoming tournament against the United States in Sunderland on Friday 22 August. But Packer has received only a short ban, which will be served for next week's game against France in Mont-de-Marsan, and be eligible for selection come the start of the tournament. Packer was given a two-match ban, with the sanction cut in half after full mitigation was considered. A World Rugby statement said: 'Packer's actions were reckless, and although the initial contact was on the Spanish player's back, the secondary movement resulted in significant body weight being placed on the Spanish player's leg/knee. The committee also noted that the Spanish player avoided injury.' The veteran, a World Cup winner in 2014, skippered the side in Leicester despite losing the full-time captaincy to lock Zoe Aldcroft at the start of the year, and produced an impressive performance before her ruck misdeed. The back row shapes as one of the most intriguing areas of selection for England boss John Mitchell entering the tournament. The vastly experienced Alex Matthews, breakthrough star Maddie Feaunati, all-action openside Sadia Kabeya and Abi Burton, a former sevens stalwart, are the other specialist back rows in the squad alongside Packer. Captain Aldcroft and fellow lock Morwenna Talling can also feature across the back row.
