County Championship 2023

[Durhamfootman]

Northants look home and dry 150 ahead

excellent rearguard action. That was a game they could easily have lost

[Durhamfootman]

Leics have a 40 run lead and wicket in hand

Barring something silly, they should secure the draw from here. An 80 run 8th wicket partnership between Wright and Handscomb has made all the difference

[Durhamfootman]

Yorkshire are trying to close this out but they're 6 down and still a long way behind. Glammy will have everyone around the bat, surely? Bess completes a match to forget....carted for 76 off 10 wicketless overs and a pair of first ballers..... that won't take me long to score in the FL

Northants look home and dry 150 ahead

excellent rearguard action. That was a game they could easily have lost

match drawn

[Arthur Crabtree]

Yorks should scrape the draw, I think.

[Durhamfootman]

should do

can't be much time left

[Durhamfootman]

Surrey have dropped anchor

Smith 28 off 80
Steel 4 off 39

this is still a valuable art

Essex must surely have helmets on every single fielder for Harmer, but these two are holding firm

[Arthur Crabtree]

Glamorgan have a new ball.

Ollie Robinson has gone off injured.

[Durhamfootman]

Worcester have done enough to keep Sussex out which when combined with the Leics score, is great news for Durham. We'll stay top for another week

[Durhamfootman]

Ollie Robinson has gone off injured.

hardly surprising, because he's probably had to bowl himself into the ground for the cause. 7 fer in each innings

lets hope it isn't too bad and he recovers quickly. England will be cacking themselves and keeping everything crossed..... they might not let him turn out for Sussex again before the ashes

[Durhamfootman]

Breakthrough at Chelmsford

does that let Harmer in?

[Durhamfootman]

Ando removes the obdurate Hutton. Lancs need 2

[Durhamfootman]

Fisher doesn't last long

Glammy need 2

[Durhamfootman]

Lots of matches going to the wire

doubtless the ECB will use this as a reason to keep having matches at times of the year where rain is highly likely

or take FC cricket matches back to 3 days

[Arthur Crabtree]

Thompson batting at a run a ball for some reason.
