Vincent in the runs

24 years ago a New Zealand opening batsman playing for Worcestershire scored a century before lunch. And it has taken another 24 years for the Worcestershire to repeat the feat. Oddly enough, the person who did it is another New Zealand opening batsman - Lou Vincent.

Vincent wasn't the only one to do well in an excellent day for New Zealand players in the county championship. Scott Styris whacked 64 for Middlesex, Nathan Astle saw the day out with an unbeaten 17 for Lancashire and Jimmy Franklin took 4-48 for Glamorgan.
