County Cricket Headlines

There was only one match in the LV= County Championship today, with Somerset kicking off their match against Durham at Taunton at midday following an overnight party to welcome the Olympic torch.
Following on, with his team 360 runs behind on first innings, Paul Horton batted for a day and a half to deny Championship leaders Warwickshire a win at Edgbaston. His marathon knock of 137 not out from 362 balls took Lancashire to safety and ended, or at least brought a temporary halt to, a dismal run of form that sees the defending champions lie eighth in Division One this year.
There were wins for the Unicorns, Lancashire, Middlesex, Sussex, Surrey, Yorkshire and Hampshire in today's Clydesdale Bank 40 action.
All six of today's matches ended in draws as the improving fortunes of the nation's batsmen, coupled with the usual English 'summer' weather, meant that the bowlers enjoyed little luck on the final day of matches in the seventh round of the LV= County Championship.
