Glamorgan have slipped to 288 for 8 in the first innings, but Byrom is still there batting with the Dutch master Timm ver der Gugten.

AFL 2021 preliminary final: Port Adelaide demolished by Western Bulldogs – as it happened
1st quarter, 4 minutes remaining: Naughton takes another sensational mark, this time all the way up on the wing, back with the flight and stealing it from the opponent camped under it. It travels quickly forward, where Vandermeer tries to dodge Lycett in the pocket but gets absolutely mashed. Down the other end, Boak gets a set shot and misses it left. Then Dixon gets a shot on his left foot from the boundary line, right forward pocket near the 50, and misses all of it. Port have at least got into the contest late, even without scoring.
Port 1.1 (7) to Bulldogs 5.2 (32)
