Hall helps Worcestershire to easy win

Andrew Hall picked up four cheap wickets as Worcestershire ran through Leicestershire to win by 124 runs at Oakham School. Earlier, Vikram Solanki scored 101 to lift Worcestershire to an imposing total of 261 for 8. Glamorgan further cemented their position at the top of Division One with a 33-run win over Gloucestershire at Swansea. Robert Croft lead the way with a blazing 68 off only 45 balls opening the innings, and he then picked up two wickets as Gloucestershire were bowled out for 217. An outstanding knock of 146 from Andrew Symonds had Lancashire chasing 301 at Tunbridge Wells. They fought all the way, but with only Stuart Law passing 50, were bowled out for 245. Elsewhere, there were wins for Northamptonshire and Middlesex. An unbeaten 96 from Martin van Jaarsveld helped Northants to an easy win over Essex, and Ed Joyce scored 74 to sink Derbyshire. Neil Killeen took 4 for 24 for Durham as they beat Scotland by 25 runs at Chester-le-Street, while Nick Knight failed to take his Championship form into Warwickshire's game against Hampshire at The Rose Bowl. He scored 27 before being caught and bowled by Shaun Udal as his team fell 28 runs short, chasing 241. Somerset went down by just six runs against Sussex at Hove. A tight final over from James Kirtley restricted Somerset to 224 for 7 after Murray Goodwin helped Sussex to 230 with 81.
