Lara fails to equal world record

West Indian Brian Lara failed to equal the world  record  of  six
consecutive  First Class centuries when he was dismissed to 26 at
Lord's.  Lara, playing for Warwickshire  against Middlesex,   was
caught  behind  35  minutes before lunch on the second day of the
four-day match.  The first day on Thursday was washed  out.   The
record  is  jointly  held  by  England's C.B.Fry, Australia's Sir
Donald Bradman, and the South African Mike Procter.  Lara had not
previously  been  out for less than three figures since his world
record of 375 against England last month.
