Durham all-rounder Axar Patel told BBC Newcastle:

"Very close to a hundred, and it's a great feeling when you've got runs on debut on a wicket such as this where it's moving a bit, so I'm happy.

"I was thinking of hitting a six on the last ball (of the over) to score my century, I thought my partner would survive, he couldn't but that's part of the game and you can't blame anybody. It's nice I made 95 runs and the best part is that the team is in a good position."

I bet he was the only one who thought Rushy would survive!

He's learnt his 1st Durham lesson. Probably now thinking "I could bat No3 here".

the problem with that line up is that JJB would probably make Poynter captain of it

Let's hope these last 3 wickets go quickly this morning. There's surely no realistic chance of making things difficult but if any team could do it...

111 all out. 5 wickets for Rushworth.
Excellent performance, would almost certainly have been a 2 day win if it hadn't rained. Now they have an extra day or so to pressure for Friday - forecast suggests it might rain but the long range forecasts are hopeless. Think there's a reserve day on Saturday if required.

Good win. Pity we only get to play them once... they look like the worst team in the division

Somebody told me that he'd heard the QF ticket sales were going very well. Lets hope we do it justice

thank goodness he plays for Punjab, otherwise he might have taken one look at our T20 team and burst out laughing

He was "ineligible" for the last washed-out group game so presumably still is. There was something on Twitter about the BCCI not letting their players take part in any T20 league apart from the IPL. I couldn't tell if the comment was sarcastic or factual! I suspect it's probably true because it would be foolish not to have him in.

Seems to be true. According to this article from May the BCCI are considering letting their players play outside the IPL but not before 2022!

that does make sense, because I can't think of any Indian players who play in other leagues
