Abstract: We reduce the leading term in Lehman's theorem. This improved estimate allows us to refine the main theorem of Bays and Hudson. Entering $2,000,000$ Riemann zeros, we prove that there exists $x$ in the interval $[exp(727.951858),exp(727.952178)]$ for which $pi(x)-li(x)>3.2imes10^{151}$. There are at least $10^{154}$ successive integers $x$ in this interval for which $pi(x)>li(x)$. This interval is strictly a sub-interval of the interval in Bays and Hudson, and is narrower by a factor of about 12.
