Report from Richard Turner. Another squeaky win for Worcestershire that went to the wire. Simon Jones won a lost position and Paul Walters won because of what Worcester's captain describes as a "mechanical intervention". Both Clacks applied consistent pressure to win. Richard Collett forced off the queens to take Worcestershire over the line.
