Derbyshire dominated the first day\u2019s play as umpire Sue Redfern made history in the LV= County Championship fixture at Glamorgan.<\/p>\n
Redfern became the first woman to stand as an umpire in a men\u2019s first-class match in England and Wales as she joined Graham Lloyd in the middle for the Division Two clash.<\/p>\n
Luis Reece made an unbeaten 139 and it was Lloyd who confirmed the wickets of Harry Came and Brooke Guest as the visitors reached 308 for two.<\/p>\n
Guest made 96 and put on 180 for the second wicket with Reece, who had captain Leus du Plooy for company on 22 not out at stumps.<\/p>\n

Glamorgan used seven bowlers, each sending down at least 10 overs, on a frustrating day in the field. Zain-ul-Hassan and James Harris were the only two to get their names in the wickets column.<\/p>\n
Came and Reece put on 80 for the first wicket in sunny conditions but on a green pitch, occupying the majority of the morning session.<\/p>\n
They each got up and running with early boundaries off Timm van der Gugten before Reece dispatched Andy Gorvin\u2019s first two deliveries to the fence.<\/p>\n
The 50 partnership came up in 16 overs, Reece with 33 of those runs, and the scoring rate began to quicken in the ensuing overs.<\/p>\n
But Came, on 32, reached away from his body to drive at Ul-Hassan\u2019s first delivery and edged low to wicketkeeper Chris Cooke, who took a good diving catch.<\/p>\n
Reece\u2019s half-century came up from 74 balls when he punched Dan Douthwaite through the off side for his eighth four. Guest did likewise to Ul-Hassan to bring up Derbyshire\u2019s hundred.<\/p>\n
Guest drove and pulled Van der Gugten for two fours in three balls and hit eight boundaries on his way to an 85-ball half-century.<\/p>\n
Reece swept a Kiran Carlson full toss to the rope to bring up the century partnership and the team\u2019s 200 soon followed.<\/p>\n
Redfern signalled the first six of the match as Reece skipped down to loft Carlson over long-on before the second, smashed down the ground by Guest off the same bowler, took Derbyshire to 250.<\/p>\n
Harris removed Guest lbw one blow short of his century with a ball that appeared to keep slightly low. Guest faced 162 balls and hit 12 fours and a six.<\/p>\n

Du Plooy was quickly into his stride with boundaries off Harris and Van der Gugten before fellow left-hander Reece brought up the 300 by working Harris into the leg side.<\/p>\n
Reece faced 269 balls over the course of the day, with 16 fours and a six to his name and the partnership two short of a half-century at stumps.<\/p>\n
