Paceman Nathan Buck struck a much-needed blow for Leicestershire on the stroke of tea on the opening day of the Championship match against Glamorgan at Grace Road.
The visitors had reached lunch at 67-2 having been sent in to bat, Ollie Freckingham having dismissed both Will Bragg and Stuart Walters in his new-ball burst.
Buck, playing his first game of the season having recovered from an ankle injury, then had Ben Wright caught behind to leave Glamorgan on 98-3.
However, Murray Goodwin and Marcus North settled in and began to swing the initiative in their side's direction.
Both men posted half-centuries and rarely looked in any degree of trouble until, in the final over before tea, Buck trapped Goodwin lbw for 57 to leave Glamorgan on 184-4 at the break. North was unbeaten on 51 at that point.
At the start of the day's play, Leicestershire had presented county caps to batsman Matthew Boyce and off-spinner Jigar Naik to mark the contributions they have made at the club.
