Durham Match Thread 2019

Rimmington following up his excellent bowling with a handy innings. 233/5. Think we need close to 300 as a bare minimum.

[captaincolly]

50 for Rimmington. Poor decision by the lead high performance coach to ignore him until now.

[Durhamfootman]

I think he's making a point

well done him

I did wonder last night if promoting him as nightwatchman might be a good move, because he scored some very useful runs last year

Santiago injured, seemingly. Doubtful if he'll be seen again in this match

Yes. Just noticed that.
Onions with 3 quick wickets and it was the two set batsmen plus Eckersley so might be tough to get 300 now.
Need one ( or both!) of Raine or Carse to fire. Still trail by 60.

oh dear.... here it comes
Onions and Jennings tearing us to bits

won't get the 3rd batting point from here

263-5 to 274-9

Yep. I thought 300 would be required to keep us in touch. At least we're not going to fall that far short.
Think it's one of those scores I'd have taken at the start of the day but definitely wouldn't have after the first hour.

[captaincolly]

All out and trail by 56. Just about manageable imo despite that collapse. Need early wickets!

Pulled up three times trying to complete an over so I think you'll be right. Perhaps we should let Nigel give him treatment just to make sure.

[Durhamfootman]

silly lunch times again?

Looks like it.
Started just now and sad news - Jennings out first ball!

[Durhamfootman]

Go Rushy

picks up Haseeb too

0-2 in the first over

Even we don't start that badly!

[captaincolly]

We could do without Carse going at 5 an over!

[captaincolly]

Lead over 100 and need to either get rid of Livingstone or tie him down. I'd me more than happy with a draw but there's a lot of time left.

Run out! This is a procession.
