·SATURDAY :

London, Aug. 1. Raiu. all over the country played havoc with the programme of County Cricket Championship matches which commenced to-day. Three matches could not be started at all and those which were played were affected by the rain.

At Hove, where Sussex engaged Middlesex, the game was abandoned after anly a - fcw minutes play. Middlesex went to bat, but rain fell after they had scared only nine runs, losing a wicket in the process.
