Operating initially around the wicket he steered the ball in rapidly to hit the off stumps of Peter Moores and Nick Phillips in successive overs; if neither was quite behind the line in the recommended textbook fashion, you could hardly blame them under the circumstances.Ian Salisbury quickly followed, caught behind as he drove at Wasim, now operating over the wicket. Mike Watkinson wrapped things up when Paul Jarvis trod on his stumps, giving the Lancashire captain match figures of 10 for 222, although on this pitch he might well be a shade embarrassed about his costliness.Now Lancashire move on to confront Leicestershire on Thursday at Grace Road, where conditions are more likely to assist the quicker bowlers. Kenny Benjamin, who took 5 for 52, shared the new ball with Carl Hooper in their 74-run victory.n Phil Tufnell was fined pounds 250 yesterday and warned about his future conduct for making an obscene gesture to spectators at Lord's on Friday.. Weston fell for 68 while Leatherdale remained unbeaten on 67.Down to one fit fast bowler, the West Indies were too much for Gloucestershire, who were bowled out for 122. Tom Moody ran himself out and Chris Silverwood gained the prized wicket of Graeme Hick.With the chase for 379 well and truly over, the pair held Yorkshire at bay for 41 overs with a stand of 116 which secured a draw - the first in the Championship for both counties this season.

The day lasted 17 deliveries before Peter Such dismissed Richard Dibden for his 11th wicket of the match and completed a crushing victory by an innings and 254 runs. Any hope of a result at Scarborough where the total number of runs - 1,473 - was a record in a Yorkshire first-class fixture, was foiled by Phil Weston and David Leatherdale who came together when Worcestershire lost their first four wickets for 31.Tim Curtis followed his first-innings century with nought, lbw to Peter Hartley who also dismissed Gavin Haynes. Therefore Everton Football Club have no alternative than to refer the matter to the Premier League." Kanchelskis trained behind closed doors with Everton yesterday, despite being asked to report for training at United.n Celtic have signed Falkirk's out-of-contract central defender John Hughes The fee is likely to be fixed by a tribunal.. The occasional absurdity of cricket was perfectly illustrated at Colchester yesterday when all the trimmings of a Championship match had to be rolled out with Essex requiring just one Hampshire wicket for victory. A statement from the Merseyside club said: "The resolution to our differences over the transfer of Andrei Kanchelskis cannot be possible The two chairmen agreed a transfer deal on 20 July.

On 27 July Manchester United informed us of a brand new development and this formed the basis of the dispute."Despite our offer of a compromise, it appears that no solution can be found. Manchester United have called off the Ukrainian winger's pounds 5m move to Goodison Park after a dispute over who pays a pounds 1.1m sell-on fee to his former club, Shakhtyor Donetsk, who sold the 26-year-old to the Old Trafford side four years ago.Everton claim they have increased their bid for Kanchelskis, but have been obliged to refer the deal to arbitrators after failing to break the deadlock. It was Tottenham's own fault that they included such provision in the employment contract they had signed with the player, whatever the reasons for such a step would have been." A Fifa statment added that "no reproach can be made against the player as to his behaviour in this case."Everton last night put the Andrei Kanchelskis transfer tug-of-war in the hands of the Premier League's lawyers. This contract was sent to Fifa by Spurs themselves.Sepp Blatter, the Fifa general secretary, said: "The wording of this contract clearly contradicts Tottenham Hotspur's own argumentation; it has therefore to be admitted that it was really the intention of the parties to fix the compensation in advance. However Fifa disclosed that Klinsmann's contract with Spurs contained a provision that they would be willing to release him any time after the first year (30 June, 1995) on condition that they received a transfer fee of $2m (pounds 1.4m). However Fifa also ruled that Tottenham will receive no more than pounds 1.4m for Klinsmann, and that the German international striker was perfectly within his rights to end his association with Spurs after only one year at White Hart Lane. Klinsmann's return to Germany last May has led to a bitter row between him and the Spurs chairman Alan Sugar, with Sugar claiming Spurs were entitled to up to pounds 6m under Fifa's complicated rules concerning transfer fees. Fifa announced yesterday that Bayern committed an infringement to article 13.1 of Fifa regulations regarding transfers, and referred the matter to their disciplinary committee for further deliberation.

The club from Port Talbot are staging the tie at Aberavon Rugby Union ground, and are hoping for a crowd of around 4,000. The club's chairman, Andrew Edwards, doubles as the reserve goalkeeper.. Bayern Munich face possible censure from Fifa, the governing body of world football, for making what may have been an illegal approach for Jurgen Klinsmann while he was a Tottenham Hotspur player. He also has the Dutch defender, Mitchel Van der Gaag and the club captain Chris McCart fully fit again after operations towards the end of last season.Two Welsh clubs also have home Uefa Cup ties tonight: Bangor City, the champions of the League of Wales, play the experienced Poles, Widzew Lodz, while runners-up Afan Lido meet RAF Riga of Latvia.Unlike Bangor City, who first appeared in the Cup-Winners' Cup as long ago as 1962, when they took Napoli to three games, Afan Lido are making their European debut.

"Everyone is expecting us to win by a few because they are part-timers, but we lost to Glentoran last week," Nicholl said.Motherwell are also at home for their first leg against Finland's MyPa Anjalankoski. MyPa are currently top of their league after 14 games of their season, so the Motherwell manager, Alex McLeish, believes his side will have to be at their best.McLeish could give a Fir Park debut to John Hendry, their pounds 200,000 summer signing from Spurs. Victories in Europe by Scottish clubs have become rare, with all four entrants failing to reach the second round last season. However, Motherwell and Raith should be able to negotiate the preliminary round of the Uefa Cup against opponents from Finland and the Faroe Islands respectively. Raith, the Coca-Cola Cup winners and Premier Division newcomers, play in Europe for the first time by entertaining GI Gotu at Stark's Park.Gotu won the Faroese championship last season and boast the most famous footballer from the islands - the bobble-hatted goalkeeper Jens Martin Knudsen, who starred in the international side's one and only victory over Austria.He was beaten seven times by Scotland in two European Championship fixtures last season, but the Raith manager, Jimmy Nicholl, is anxious that complacency does not affect his team. Motherwell and Raith Rovers launch the new season for Scotland's top clubs tonight when they open their European campaigns. The former World Boxing Organisation super-middleweight champion and the current World Boxing Council heavyweight title holder must appear before the Boxing Board of Control's disciplinary committee.
