I thank you.

A very fine reaction catch at short mid off, because Davies thumped that. Hogg had been taking a bashing up to that point

[Durhamfootman]

Now Hoggy’s on it. Off stump ripped out. Looks a different game now and Hogg looks a different bowler

[Durhamfootman]

It was Gay who took that catch and it was more short cover than short mid off. Without it I think Hogg would have been pulled after conceding 26 from his three overs, so Gay did us all a very big favour

[Durhamfootman]

Doggett looks good. Just a standard length run up, but looks very quick in the arm. Probably bowls quicker than batsmen might expect

[Durhamfootman]

We’ve just dropped Hain on 9. 1st slip. Regulation

[Durhamfootman]

Will Rhodes is at first slip

He can add that his 3 ball duck

[Durhamfootman]

Another edge for 4 through first slip

[Durhamfootman]

Finally we hold onto one. Yates luck runs out. Ackermann

98-3

Rhodes into the attack and gets Mousley lbw. Hopefully that signals a change in his fortunes.

And Doggett has got Hain. Excellent catch by Robinson. 150/5.

[captaincolly]

And another. Barnard gone. 160/6. It's just as you were saying, loomed like nothing much was happening and then suddenly 3 quick wickets.

[captaincolly]

And then nothing happening again right until the end of the evening session! 8 down at the close trailing by 100.

we could do with knocking them off very early in the morning...... but I suppose that's always true regardless

Looking a bit ominous at the moment! It did cloud over and the ball was moving around. No sign of Bedingham yet.

[Durhamfootman]

spotted that

he must be injured.and that's why he didn't take the field yesterday. I suppose the question is will he bat later?

we are in danger of making a horlicks of this
