Day Two. Worcestershire 322 and 137/2 (Imran Khan 67no, Ormrod 56no), Warwickshire 409/4 dec (Amiss 167, Jameson 97, Whitehouse 68). Worcestershire lead by 50.  

"This a Test match wicket," observed Tom Graveney midway through the second day of the Pears v Bears championship derby at New Road in 1976. The Worcestershire and England legend was spot on - it was a belter of a track - and on the field in front of him the two teams were delivering a contest worthy of a Test match.
