Cricket: Goodwin cracks record

Former Zimbabwe batsman Murray Goodwin made the sixth highest score in the history of English county cricket as his 344 not out helped Sussex reach 742-5 against Somerset yesterday. Goodwin's innings lasted 351 balls and included 43 fours and six sixes before Sussex declared. Former West Indies batsman Brian Lara holds the record for the highest score in first class cricket with an innings of 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham at Edgbaston in 1994.
