THE GUARDIAN Wednesday June 8 1988 14 SPORTS NEWS Cricket First Test match: England West Indies, final day iraoses none soege Mike Selvoy at Trent Bridga ENGLAND First Inning A Gooch Marshal I Gower, who batted rather like Joan Collins elegant but very flirty for 88 not out, and with Gooch added 161 for the third wicket from 47 overs. The wickets of Gatting and Gooch were the sole West Indian successes of the day, with Allan Lamb able to negotiate a testing time with admirable fortitude, so that when the captains decided enough was enough, England had reached 301 for three, 98 runs ahead. West Indies have not come out of the match entirely unscathed. Malcolm Marshall, whose skilful bowling and belligerent batting did so much to put England on the back foot in the first place and won him the Cornhill Man of the Match award, was able to bowl only five overs, at fairly gentle medium pace, before retiring. He has a recurrence of a rib injury sustained in Barbados when Wasim Akram hit him during the final Test match against Pakistan.

He missed matches at the start of the tour, and will see a specialist in Manchester today. Things do not seem promising for him. Unlike Gooch. This season, for him, has thus far been as phenomenally good as last was inexplicably disappointing. All attention may have been focused on Graeme Hick but Gooch, almost stealthily, has been matching him.

Hick took nine innings to reach his thousand: throw in Gooch's one-day runs as well, and he has motored past Hick and almost past 1600 as well. There is little doubt that Gooch is playing technically as well as he ever has done, lining the ball up well in defence and hitting his attacking strokes, particularly those off his legs, Small cuts Notts down to size Middlesex Worcestershire Newport uproots Middlesex I Results to wkj irom nine Much depends on Carr but he was the first to go, held by Hick at second slip. When Butcher was out first ball, top-edging a hook to Rhodes, the Middlesex effort to reach 334, after Worcestershire's overnight declaration and two forfeits, immediately became a battle to avoid their first championship defeat. Brown and Sykes added 50 for the fifth wicket before Ming-worth's arrival on the stroke of lunch brought Rhodes his third catch. Sykes, whose 32 occupied as many overs, was seventh man out at 85 as Newport, with four more wickets, and Radford, who bowled Olley, finished matters off.

Championship table a quarter to five yes-terlay on a Notting- ham afternoon bathed WAin sunshine, Patrick Patterson, stampeding in to Graham Gooch with the second new ball still hard as a conker, found some lift and a hint of movement. Gooch sparred and edged, and Dujon took a comfortable catch. Old Stony Face did not wait for the umpire just a glance and a "where-the-hell-did-that-come-from" prod of the pitch, and off he wandered, head down, to the pavilion and a standing ovation.

And well deserved it was too. He had opened the England second innings in the knowledge that someone had to play a major innings if England were to avoid an eleventh consecutive defeat at the hands of West Indies. Now, seven hours and 13 minutes later he had 146 to his name, had barely put a foot wrong all day, and had negotiated England through, if not exactly stormy waters, then choppy seas (the pitch was calmer yesterday) to harbour. A draw, in spite of England's policy of not looking back, represents a triumph. Encouragingly, too, there was help; first from Mike Gat ting, who batted for the first hour ana a half before any juice left in the pitch had gone, to make 29; and then David Those early successes have spawned a confidence reflected in a springy, rhythmical approach and a marked increase in pace.

By keeping the ball up to the bat, on a good length, he was rewarded with three catches to slip, another three to Rhodes, the wicketkeeper, and with the clean-bowling of two tail-enders. Part of Middlesex's problem was that, in the absence of Gatting and the injured Slack, their tail could unkindly be said to begin at No. 4. Yesterday, moreover, they lost their first four men for just 15, all to Newport for a personal cost of seven runs in four overs. YORKSHIRE SURREY Harrogate! Yorkshire (Ipt) drew with Surrey (Bpts).

Gooch, meanwhile, went steadfastly on, clipping Ambrose, after exactly five hours, away to square leg for a single which took him to his eighth semi-finals Haunted Michael Henderson ONE of cricket's statistical freaks is threatened today as Hampshire visit Chelmsford in the Benson and Hedges semi-final. Ever the bridesmaids of the limited-over Hampshire travelled this far twice in the mid-70s and have reached the last four of the 60-over competition four times.

Once again Lord's awaits. They would have preferred different opponents. Winners in 1979 and runners-up on two occasions this decade, Essex's shoulders comfortably support the weight of a richer one-day tradition. Nevertheless Hampshire optimism is permissible. Robin Smith's unbeaten 87 brought off a fine victory at Worcester two weeks ago to sustain the belief that this is their year.

"It is not the present team which has missed out on six semi-finals," says Mark Nicholas, "but we are carrying the failures of our predecessors." Nicholas, one of three young captains who have hands on the tiller today, is publicly muttering the underdogs' creed of playing to strengths and relaxing: "Everyone is susceptible to nerves. Even an experienced side like Essex cannot escape them." True, but the quarterfinal towsing Essex gave Warwickshire hardly suggested bitten fingernails. Graham Gooch's stock could not be higher. He has two unbeaten centuries behind him in this year's competition and Motor Racing Williams Alan Henry WILLIAMS took a decisive move back towards the centre of the grand prix stage yesterday when they confirmed a three-year contract to use Renault engines. They may even have Nigel Man sell and Riccardo Patrese driving the new cars in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 10.

Williams, the Didcot-based team, have been frustrated by lack of progress this season. Having won the constructors' championship for the last two years they have been struggling with the Judd 3.5-litre V8 after losing Honda's turbo power at the end of last season. Since last autumn, though, they have had Renault's 3.5-litre V10 unit running secretly on the test bed. Results have been promising and clearly they see this as carry ing the best hope of re-establishing their reputation at the front of the grid. Motorcycling AT Patterson lets fly, Gower ducks, with a crisp certainty that got better as his innings progressed.

Although the ball beat his bat on occasions one would always expect it from this pitch only twice did he give anything resembling a chance. Once, when past 50, he edged very fast between second and third slip at catchable height, and just before his dismissal he drove a weary half-chance to a diving mid-off. The rest of the batting, un- still have to get properly fit." Small has set himself up for a Test return at Lord's next week but Nottinghamshire's cave-in comes just six days after they scored the championship's previous lowest score of the season when they were bowled out for 65 by Kent. Mike Newell carried his bat for 10 after Warwickshire's bold declaration following their 111 for four in 75 minutes. Kent's former England opener Chris Tavare set up their win when they beat Glamorgan at Cardiff, reaching their target of 270 with four wickets to spare.

pts. Test hundred and his fourth against West Indies. An almost) embarrassed acknowledgement of the applause, then back to business. Thereafter it was landmarks at 203 for two England went into the black, and at 234 Gower reached his half century. The new ball, taken after tea as a last, rather forlorn, gesture by Richards, finally saw the end of Gooch, but by then the job had been done.

Hants there is always Border and Prichard to follow. Neil Foster, who returned to bolster the bowling against Warwickshire but has since rested to facilitate a full recovery from his knee injury, should be available again. So too should Hampshire's Nigel Cowley. Glamorgan, who beat Nottinghamshire at Cardiff to reach the Bensons semis for the first time, are expecting an 8,000 crowd for the arrival of Derbyshire at Swansea. A Lord's final in the club's centenary year? What could be more agreeable? Hugh Morris, an ingenu captain two years ago at 22, presides over a happier bunch these days.

Matthew Maynard's rising star has shifted attention across the channel and there is genuine goodwill among cricket's wider constituency for our most unfashionable club. Derbyshire are not exactly Beau Brummels of the game but they too have begun the season impressively, as championship performances and a nine-wicket thumping of Middlesex in the quarter finals attest. A Bensons triumph can only strengthen Kim Barnett's hand when the next round of England captaincy deliberations takes place. The key to this tie reads: Michael Holding. He shaped the Middlesex game in his formidable opening spell when Carr, Gatting and Butcher were removed for next to nothing.

In Roberts, Morris and Barnett himself, Derbyshire have better batsmen as well. So it is Derbyshire versus Essex on July 9. go French This Anglo-French alliance ironically brings together two organisations which could hardly have been further apart during the political struggle for the control of grand prix racing which raged between the sport's governing body, Fisa, and the Formula 1 constructors' association, Foca, in the early 1980s. Now Renault, who have been out of Fl since splitting with Lotus at the end of 1986, have chosen a partnership with the technically accomplished Williams team as, likewise, the logical route back towards the front of the field. Williams will have exclusive use of the Renault engines in 1989, after which the French company may choose to extend supply agreements to other teams.

"We hope to win a championship in 1990," said Frank Williams rather ambiguously, not specifying whether he thought the team would take the drivers' or constructors' crown. 118.54mph, from competing in the Junior race today and in Friday's Senior. Dunlop, 35, was arrested at 3am on Saturday after his car turned into a side road without signalling. Police later found that a fuse had blown. avoidably, paled by contrast Gatting knuckled down and fought before getting a dream delivery from Marshall, pitch- ing around middle-and-off and uprooting off stump like a tiger, Marshall is still dangerous when wounded.

Then Gower gave glimpses of his old style and grace, mixed in with some of those frustrating peccadillos. He had the luck yesterday during his stay of nearly four hours, surviving lost their first three wickets for only 29, figuring in a fifth-wicket stand of 120 with Chris Cowdrey. Mike Watkinson's unbeaten 73 led Lancashire's charge as they heat Hampshire with four wickets and 14 balls to spare at Liverpool, having been set a target of 256 by Mark Nicholas. Nicholas let Watkinson off the hook in the crucial final stages when he caught him, threw the ball up in triumph, and then dropped it. Derbyshire clinched the day's closest win, Reg Sharma hitting the winning two runs off the day's final ball at Horsham to beat Sussex by one wicket.

Evening racing HALF-FIT Gladstone ZJ Small destroyed a lame Nottinghamshire at Edgbaston, the county champions stumbling to their sixth championship defeat when they crashed to a humiliating 44 all out. Warwickshire won by 161 runs as Nottinghamshire were skittled out for the summer's lowest total in just 87 minutes. Small, who missed the Trent Bridge Test with a thigh injury, finished with a career-best seven for IS and then rubbed salt in the Nottinghamshire wounds when he was able to remind them: "It was my first championship game for a month and I Figures deducted Compulsory figures will be abolished from major championships after two more seasons, the International Skating Union decided yesterday. "We're just disappointed," said Canada's David Dore, who had been in the forefront of attempts to retain compulsory figures. "And applying it to the juniors pretty well eliminates them forever." An ISU-sponsored motion to abolish compulsory figures immediately was favoured by 19 votes to 12, less than the required two-thirds majority.

The compromise motion to abolish them from July 1990 was opposed only by Canada, the United States, New Zealand and Britain. In the intermediate period, skaters at the world and European championships will be required to do one figure fewer (reduced from three) for less reward (20 per cent instead of 30 per cent of the total marks). Soccer A 37th-minute goal by Tottenham's Vinny Samways was enough to give England a victory over the Soviet Union last night that leaves them needing only a draw against Morocco tomorrow to qualify for Sunday's final in the eight-nation under-21 tournament at Toulon. The Bristol Rovers goalkeeper, Nigel Martyn, did well to preserve England's lead. Sailing Light winds meant slow progress and a shortened course for yesterday's race in the Stone's Ginger Wine J24 National Championship at Tor-bay, writes Bob Fisher.

The winner was Alistair Evans in Jale-break, who led from the fourth mark. The holder, David Bedford in Take 'Em To The Cleaners, had led at the first mark but fell into one of the many windless pockets. Boxing Roger Mayweather was involved a car crash and detained in a Las Vegas hospital shortly after outpointing his fellow American Harold Brazier yesterday to retain the WBC super- nghtweignt tme on tne Heams-Barkley undercard. Athletics Said Aouita of Morocco failed last night in a well-publicised attempt on Steve Cram's world mile record at an international meeting in Madrid. Despite early pace-making by the American James Mays, Aouita won in only 3min 58.29sec, nearly 12 seconds outside Cram's 1985 time of 3:46.32.

Sport in brief Michael Henderson at Lord's PHIL NEWPORT, bowling magnificently to return career-best figures of eight for 52, led Worcestershire's charge to the head of the championship yesterday as Middlesex, whom they now lead by nine points, went down by 209 runs. It has been a wondrous season for the 25-year-old Newport. Last year he failed to take five wickets in an innings; now, with six-wicket hauls against Somerset and Lancashire, he has taken a total of 38 this summer.
