4 down now but barring a spectacular collapse the target is going to be well over 200. Salisbury brought back into the attack so it looks as if Wood won't bowl.

[captaincolly]

5 down so there's still a glimmer of hope!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Durham still in there. But a lower order stand now would finish them off.

Yeah. Not confident about chasing 250 unless Latham and Stokes get most of them and in all likelihood the target will be a lot higher.

[captaincolly]

Wicket for Smith in his first over but the game might be gone unless the last 4 go very quickly...if it isn't already gone.

[captaincolly]

7 down but the lead is approaching 300.

[Arthur Crabtree]

These lower order runs have tilted the game away from Durham. Hard to win from here.

Yep. It'll probably take a Stokes special.

[captaincolly]

Also highlights the risks in playing Wood as one of 4 specialist quicks. In any case unless Harding is a brilliant spinner Smith & Steel are likely to be enough. Should have had Weighell or Rimmington in - looks a very long tail with Poynter at 7.

[captaincolly]

The dreaded last wicket partnership is threatening again.

[captaincolly]

So just the 340 runs needed. I'm sure they'll knock those off in style.
12 overs left tonight.

[captaincolly]

As expected no wickets before the close.
35/0 so 305 more required.

Mark has been for a scan today and we will know more when we get the results," Lewis said. "It's a strange one and it could be something and nothing.

That's all cleared up then!

He's just relating what Nigel told him-don't shoot the messenger.

Could be an interesting final day, I will be amazed if we don't lose but that might be a good sign because I'm usually wrong!
