There'll be a collapse at some stage! Only question is if it will be a disastrous one or even worse.

The two openers seemed set ...so they both get out either side of the lunch break. One just before and one just after!

They are answering the question

Under 150 to get tho! But they need these two to stick. Get the target down to 80 and the pressure goes onto the bowlers.

6 down now!

Yes, too much to do now with the the tail at one end.

Only glimmer of hope is that Wood and Salisbury can bat so if they can stick with Richardson there's a slight chance. New ball though so I think it's about a 1 in 10 chance and 0 if Richardson doesn't bat for most of the remaining overs.
Laurel and Hardy waiting in the wings at 10 and 11!

Richardson gone so that will surely be it. No realistic chance of getting 80 more against the new ball.

I suppose the chances of this lineup chasing a big total on the last day was always highly unlikely.
Even taking into account the injury to Wood I suspect our bowling was poor because the Gloucs lineup looks even weaker than ours.

Apparently the lbw decision against Richardson was a poor one. Missing the stumps?

Although if Wood can get 50 whilst limping around and taking painkillers batting surely can't be that difficult.

well this ain't going to happen, but it has lasted longer than I thought it would. I thought we wouldn't make it to tea.

Boy wonder fails with the bat again

A poor shot looking at the replay.
Richo getting fired out was the final blow!

[Durhamfootman]

was it a decent shout, or was it one of those?
