Joe Leach (23) was given out caught behind off Roman Walker before Henry Cullen and Ollie Walker added 68 for the fifth wicket.
Wicketkeeper Cullen top-scored with 41 from 65 balls with eight fours before he was caught at cover driving at spinner Freddie Fallows.
Walker (29) was dismissed in the first over after lunch when he carved Sam Wood to gulley and the same bowler accounted for Mitchell Stanley (0) at first slip and Ari Karvelas (4) off a leading edge at cover.
Cameron Jones hit a breezy 29 before he was run out to complete the innings.
Worcestershire followed on 389 runs in arrears and Ismael Mohammed (0) was caught down the legside.
