and

Warwickshire, the leaders, failed by nine runs to top Lancashire's score, while their rivals, Northamptonshire, Surrey, Worcester Sussex, also were led on first innings.

The Pakistan all-rounder, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, hit an attractive 57 not out for Warwickshire, but the efforts of the Warwickshire side were thwarted by 22. year-old R. Tattersall, Lancashire's medium pace off-spinner, who took six for 69 on a responsive wicket.

A fighting innings of G4 not out in three hours by Roley Jenkins failed to save Worcester from following on 188 runs behind Gloucestershire. Tom Goddard, two for 40, and Cecil Cook, three fur 48, spun Jenkins' partnera out on the rain and sun-affected pitch, and when Worcester batted again, the pace bowler, G.
