Essex
v Warwickshire: Wednesday - Saturday
Essex
could win promotion to the First Division of the PPP
healthcare County Championship if they beat Warwickshire
and results elsewhere go in their favour.
An
unbeaten 119 from Stuart Law, his fifth century of
the season, earned Essex a draw against Division Two
champions Northamptonshire at Wantage Road on Saturday
to keep alive their own promotion hopes. |

The England
Cricket Squad
The summer of 2000
is unprecedented in it's intensity for English international cricket. Between
May and early September, England will play seven Test matches and, if they qualify
for the final of the triangular competition involving West Indies and Zimbabwe,
as a bucketful of one-day internationals.

| NCL
Division One County Profiles:
Lancashire
defend their Norwich Union NCL title with few pundits
prepared to back against them. They finished a massive
16 points ahead of their nearest rivals last year, but
there are arguably more genuine pretenders to the throne
this time.

| NCL
Division Two County Profiles:
The idea of
creating a two tier one-day league was to make the
game more competitive and few would disagree that
it has done just that. With a third of the division
promoted to the top flight there will be plenty
to fight for right up until the last day of the
season. Warwickshire and Surrey could be the teams
to beat.
