County survival hopes in tatters
WORCESTERSHIRE are staring relegation in the face after a spectacular batting collapse against arch rivals Warwickshire at New Road.
Having won the toss and elected to bat first, a terrible display with the willow, which has been symptomatic of the County's LV= County Championship Division One woes this term, saw the hosts dismissed before lunch.
The scorecard made sorry reading as Worcestershire were shot out for a humiliating 60 all out in just 29 overs, with only three batsmen making double-figures.
Steve Rhodes' men now face a heavy defeat, which would condemn them to relegation from the top-flight, as well as handing the title to their local rivals.
