Worcestershire gained an advantage by winning the toss, for the ball turned slowly, and they showed their appreciation by remaining at the wicket all day and scoring 334 for six wickets. Bache and Bowley sent up 76 for the first wicket in 85 minutes and the latter and Pearson added 41 for the second in 25. Bowley was at his best, and hit five 4’s in making 69 out of 117 in 125 minutes. On the other hand Pearson was slow, taking 70 minutes to score 19, but he remained with II. K. Foster whilst 46 were added for the third wicket. Simpson-Hayward drove well, but his 55 minutes’ disp’ ay was not,quite faultless. After his departure Arnold and ‘Owffe put on 77 together in 55 minutes, and, following the latter’s dismissal, Burns kept Arnold company until the score had reached 334, when play ceased. At the close Arnold carried his bat for 77. The four outstanding wickets added 47 runs in 40 minutes on Friday, the partnership of Arnold and Burns lasting altogether 50 minutes and realising 68. In his excellent innings of 89, which lasted 150 minutes, the former hit seven 4’s. Tarrant and Warner commenced the uphill task for Middlesex, and although they made only 45 for the first wicket they brought on no less than five bowlers. Warner was first out, Hendren was caught at the wicket four later and at 57 Tarrant, who had batted 50 minutes for 35, was bowled. Although seven men reached double-figures the total amounted to only 176. Murrell and Litteljohn put on 29 for the fourth wicket and Hearne (J. T.) and Mignon the same number for the last. It was a very poor display, for the bowlers were not assisted by the wicket. In the follow-on Warner and Tarrant again opened the innings, and in 45 minutes sent 50 up. Altogether they remained together 110 minutes, during which they scored 109. Tarrant was then lbw for a bright and faultless innings of 52, and upon his retirement play ceased for the day. On the third morning Hendren helped to put on 43 for the second wicket in 50 minutes and was then caught at short-1eg off Simpson-Hayward, who had gone on at 132. Eleven later Warner, who had made 69 out of 163 in 170 minutes, was bowled by a lob : he made a fine effort for his side and scored well all round the wicket. Murrell was beaten by the second ball he received and 2 later Trott was stumped. Litteljohn, having batted 45 minutes for 4, was stumped at 171, at which point Simpson-Hayward had taken five wickets for 15 runs dui'ing the morning. Hebden and Hearne (J. T.) added 21 for the seventh wicket and, thanks to Mignon who made 26, the total reached 235. Simpson-Hayward’s bowling was quite the feature of the day’s play, and his record of seven wickets for 54 runs was rather remarkable. Wor­ cestershire, left with 31 to win, lost three good wickets in the task. Score and analysis:— W orcestershire . First innings. H. G. Bache, c Hebden, b Trott ..................................

ESSEX v. SUSSEX. Played at Leyton on July 1, 2 and 3. Sussex won by four wickets. After six blank days, a full day’s cricket was found possible. The weather, however, was cold and the attendance naturally suffered. Slow at first, the wicket afterwards became difficult, and Sussex, who lost the toss, wound up the day’s play at much disadvantage. Nine Essex players reached double-figures, but there were only two stands of note, Fane and Douglas making 43 for the first wicket and Perrin and Buckenham adding 47 for the sixth. Killick’s six wickets cost 44 runs, and he took his last four for 4. Before the effect of the roller had worn off Vine and the younger Relf made 37 for the opening partnership, but Read and Buckenham then proved so effective that by the time play ceased seven wickets had fallen in 90 minutes for 65. The absence of Relf (A. E .)at Leeds weakened the side, it is true, but his absence could not account for the collapse. There was some rather remarkable play on Friday morning, when the last three wickets added no less than 142 runs in 115 minutes. Smith and Vincett put on 41 in 25 minutes and the latter and Jupp 33 in 30. Vincett made his 41 out of 74 in 55 minutes, playing a most useful, but not a faultless, innings. After his departure Jupp and Butt remained together for an hour, during which time they added 68 for the tenth wicket. The first-named batted steadily for 90 minutes, and Butt, who went in last and hit a five and two 4’s, made the largest score of the innings. The consequence was that Sussex tied the home score. Essex fared badly in their second innings, only three men reaching double-figures. Douglas played very well indeed for 53 and Reeves helped him to add 42 for the second wicket. Perrin, alone of the others, did much, and Sussex were set only 156 to win. Of that number they made 24 without loss by the end of the day. On Saturday Vine was bowled by Douglas at 29, but Killick and Relf added 60 in 40 minutes. Then two wickets fell in quick succession, whilst at 111 Relf was caught at slip for an excellent innings of 53, which contained a 5 and six 4’s. Leach and Matthews left at 124, but Smith and Cox proved equal to making the remaining runs without further loss. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First innings. Second innings. F. L.
