Now ahead of Worcestershire in the record books lies the run of seven Championship wins achieved in July-August 1961.

For the record, Worcestershire put together four Championship victories in a row in 1909, 1911, 1947, 1964, 2006 and 2014.
Worcestershire's superb start to the current campaign means they are part of a three strong group of teams who are currently well clear of the rest of the division.
Nottinghamshire lead the way on 104 points – four more than Kent – but Worcestershire on 91 out of a posible 96 have a game in hand
The only points they have dropped to date were the five batting points in the low-scoring meeting with Northants at New Road.
