County Championship 2023

Taking big wicket of Malan, too.

Durham getting better weather than most.

Must be better than here, I think the sky is about to explode

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bairstow goes too. Bound to be overcast though, so maybe a game of low scores.

Has been a strange day, it's sunny but batting looks difficult with numerous playing and missing so hard to predict what a good score is.

[DiligentDefence]

Early stumps at Northampton but 10 miles away we've had no rain at all this afternoon.

Shakeel resuming his innings for Yorkshire with a runner- in the wars again though after a blow to the head. Looks like he's OK to continue.

[captaincolly]

But out next ball. Not had the best of days!

[Arthur Crabtree]

Let's see if CMS board fatalism that Durham always concede 170 for the last wicket is justified....

[Durhamfootman]

36 so far and Yorks have a batting point that seemed unlikely when the 9th wicket fell

but the new ball is now due, so we'll see

[Durhamfootman]

weather has been lovely today in sunny CLS, but loads of matches have been rain affected around the country

[Arthur Crabtree]

36 it is.

Durham owe 134 runs.

SR of 48.... that aint going to cut it

Weather forecast might actually allow us a 3 day game in Leicester. Its been a highly annoying start to the season, 4 teams have yet to actually play in a match that has yielded a complete result. Massive amount of rain-affected draws. I guess this is what you get playing the season so early

And play week after week. A few weeks of iffy weather can ruin several games.
