Durham Match Thread 2018

Griffiths must be as innocuous a bowler as you can get but he looks like getting a wicket every ball and just missed a hatrick earlier! Can't blame the top 3 this time, they did a great job but this middle order is hopeless if Colly fails.

[captaincolly]

Definitely into the swing of things now - trademark disastrous batting collapses and now the scoreboard is literally on the blink.
Weighell & McCarthy have taken the lead to 127. Get a few more and then early wickets and we might have a very slight chance.

[captaincolly]

McCarthy out and lead is 130. Rushworth in now - good chance of a big slog instead of trying to stay in with Weighell.

[captaincolly]

He's playing the reverse sweep to the last ball of the over!

[captaincolly]

All out. 148 to win- if the roles were reversed I'd make us second favourites but surely only a flurry of early wickets will stop Leicestershire cruising to victory.

Comedy PA announcement : The runs required are 148 and not 404 as shown on the scoreboard."

Durham lost eight wickets for ender 100, so maybe they can do the same to Leics.

Hopefully. Not much happening so far though- although it's just the 3rd over.

[captaincolly]

Apart from Poynter dropping a catch! Might have fallen just short but reactions suggested it carried.

[captaincolly]

Another possible drop! Markram.

Another possible drop! Markram.

Out next ball though caught by Colly.

29/2. Just about still in it but if Cosgrove has a good half hour it will be curtains.

[captaincolly]

He's out. Another couple of quick wickets might make this interesting.

[captaincolly]

47/4!

Problem here is that Weighell looks threatening but is also conceding boundaries.
