Josh Dell finished five runs short of a deserved century as a dramatic collapse by Worcestershire Seconds led to them suffering a seven wicket defeat in their three-day friendly with Glamorgan Seconds at Abergavenny.
Glamorgan were bowled out for 432 in their first innings after resuming on the final day on 345-5 to give them a lead of 164.
Worcestershire appeared to be comfortably heading towards a draw as Dell and Alex Hepburn added 122 for the third wicket in 24 overs.
Hepburn, who rejoined the squad after being on NatWest T20 Blast duty against Derbyshire Falcons last night, was eventually out for 55 off 75 balls with nine fours.
But the visitors had reached 184-3 when seven wickets fell for 12 runs in 7.4 overs.
Six successive batsmen registered ducks and it was off-spinner Kieran Bull who did the damage with 5-5 in four overs after tea.
It left Dell unbeaten on 95 from 135 balls with 12 fours as he added to his 70 in the first innings.
Worcestershire were bowled out for 196 to leave Glamorgan a 33 target and they lost three wickets – two of them to Zen Malik – in reaching their target.
When Glamorgan resumed in their first innings, Jack Murphy moved from his overnight 96 not out to 155 while paceman George Scrimshaw picked up three wickets.
