Introduced by Frank Bough

Lancashire are making a determined bid for the League leadership. Their captain, John Bond, is fortunate to be able to call on the wisdom and experience of senior professional Ken Higgs, and in the Indian Test player Farokh Engineer he has a world-class wicket-keeper and entertaining batsman.
Glamorgan, too, are making a strong challenge in the League and today's match is a vital one to the hopes of both sides.
