Amiss shows his class, but Ormrod and Imran drive Pears fightback

At the close, Worcestershire led by 50. This compelling match would enter its final day with all results still possible. The supporters were salivating at that prospect as they hurried home in time for Crossroads (“Mr Reed makes an offer which surprises Benny.”)

Day Two. Worcestershire 322 and 137/2 (Imran Khan 67no, Ormrod 56no), Warwickshire 409/4 dec (Amiss 167, Jameson 97, Whitehouse 68). Worcestershire lead by 50.  

"This a Test match wicket," observed Tom Graveney midway through the second day of the Pears v Bears championship derby at New Road in 1976. The Worcestershire and England legend was spot on - it was a belter of a track - and on the field in front of him the two teams were delivering a contest worthy of a Test match.
