AXA Equity & Law Sunday League : September 5th 1993

SOMERSET v GLOUCS: Taunton
Umpire Ray Julian described the Taunton pitch as  very  poor  for
Sunday cricket after Gloucestershire beat Somerset by three wick-
ets in a low scoring match.  Somerset never came  to terms   with
the  uneven  bounce and were all out for 111 in 41.5 overs.  Andy
Caddick removed Gloucs' openers and spinner Mushtaq Ahmed kept up
the  pressure  with 3 17 in 10 overs but the visitors got home by
three wickets.

DURHAM v NOTTS: Chester le Str
Wayne Larkins hit his third one day century in eight days to car-
ry  Durham  to  a  three  wicket win against Notts.  Durham esta-
blished their best Sunday sequence of  five  successive wins   as
they  passed  Nottinghamshire's  total  of 260 6 with 11 balls to
spare.  Larkins made 128 to record  his  second century  of   the
weekend  after  scoring  107no  against Yorkshire in the Northern
Electric Trophy at Scarborough.

LEICS v YORKS: Leicester
Michael Foster hit a brilliant century in only his  sixth  Sunday
League   innings  to  inspire  Yorkshire  to  a  65  run win over
Leicestershire at Grace Road.  Foster hammered  the home   attack
for  118  off  70 balls with eight sixes and seven fours as Yorks
piled up 318 7   their highest Sunday League total.   Despite  49
from James Whitaker and 71 from Phil Robinson  Leics were earlier
253 all out  and slumped to a 10th loss

SURREY v HANTS: The Oval
Pakistan paceman Waqar Younis turned in a superb all  round  per-
formance  as  Surrey  beat  Hants by 77 runs to consolidate third
place in the table.  After whacking Hants' bowling for  a  Sunday
best  39  in 48 balls as Surrey made 213  Waqar weighed in with 3
29 to help bundle out the opposition for 136.  Waqar's  haul  in-
cluded   two wickets in successive balls shattering the stumps of
Cardigan Connor and James Bovill.

KENT v NORTHANTS: Canterbury
Nigel Llong hit his highest Sunday score helping Kent back to the
top of the table and set up a title showdown at home to Glamorgan
on September 19.  Llong cracked  an  unbeaten  64  as Kent   beat
Northamptonshire by three wickets with three overs to spare to go
two points ahead of the Welsh county.   Batting first   Northants
had  managed  165  8   Mal  Loye top scoring with 22.  Apart from
Llong  Kent also struggled.

WORCS v LANCS: Worcester
Lancashire skipper Neil Fairbrother and Nick Speak shared a  cen-
tury   partnership  to  clinch  a  six  wicket  success over Wor-
cestershire at New Road.  The pair joined forces with  Lancashire
69  3  after  Graeme  Hick had removed Graham Lloyd (35) and John
Crawley in three balls.  Speak hit 55 off 91 balls  and   skipper
Fairbrother  (56no)  hit  the  winning  runs to take Lancs passed
Worcs' 188 9 total
