Glamorgan rested top scorer Colin Ingram to field Pakistan paceman Mir Hamza for his final game alongside Marnus Labuschagne, with fit-again Timm van der Gugten playing his first match of the season, while Leicestershire gave a debut to on-loan Hampshire all-rounder Ian Holland in place of the rested Rehan Ahmed.
Byrom and Billy Root had to battle for survival under cloudy skies on the heavily-grassed wicket, which seemed designed to produce a positive result after six draws for the Foxes.
Despite surviving a few edges and lbw appeals, they put away the odd bad ball and were not put under consistent pressure in the early stages as they added 90 before Root (40) smashed Ben Mike to point.
Labuschagne was bowled for eight leaving one from Currie which took his off-stump, but Carlson got his score moving at better than a run a ball while Byrom also found his touch, driving fluently in his best innings of the season.
After hitting 13 fours and two sixes and being dropped on 49, Byrom dragged a wide ball from Matt Salisbury onto his stumps.
