  Brian Lara gritted his teeth to     
  keep Warwickshire's Grand Slam bid  
  alive before rain sent the players  
  and fans home frustrated.           
                                      
  The West Indian run-machine made an 
  unbeaten 36 to steady the innings   
  after Worcestershire had made the   
  most of a helpful xitch.            
                                      
  Dominic Ostler, Andy Moles and Paul 
  Smith all went cheaply before Roger 
  Twosj joined Lara.                  
                                      
  They took the score to 88-3 before  
  the rain set in for the day and the 
  final will now finish on Sunday -   
  weather permitting. (Card p341)     
