the women are going to fall short chasing Lancs 239. We are around where they were at this stage, but we are 7 down and have no batting depth

182-7 after 39 overs

[Durhamfootman]

oh hello.....

Notts all out

target 91

we lost 2 wickets in the first 3 balls of the first over

what could possibly go wrong?

12-2 after 4 overs, 79 required.... I have no idea whether we get the full 18 overs, because we bowled them 15 mins into the last hour on the final day and they seem to make up the rules as they go along

[Durhamfootman]

and there we go. What a win that is

no drama

That may rank as Durham's best win for a few years. Certainly since gaining promotion

[Durhamfootman]

and still had an over to spare

Definitely. Looked like a certain draw at tea and then those 2 quick wickets with the old ball got us going. I thought Notts might just have lasted long enough to escape- especially after we ( and I was half expecting it )got off to a dreadful start. I was thinking the 51 extras could cost us a win but luckily they didn't. Wonderful knock from Ackermann so who misses out if Bedingham is available for the Somerset game?

[Durhamfootman]

51 extras? it was 26 when I left at 2.30

did we recover the -3 on the over rate?

[Durhamfootman]

we must have done, because I can't see any points deductions

[Durhamfootman]

we'd be joint top if we'd taken that final Warks wicket

[captaincolly]

Yes.

[captaincolly]

And should probably have had a significant first innings lead at Trent Bridge. Think Nottta added about 250 in their first innings after we had them 6 down.

[captaincolly]

Jimmy Neesham has signed for The Blast. I'm starting to lose count of the overseas players.

[Durhamfootman]

oh, just spotted this and posted it on DBTR

I think this means we have 4 OS players in our ranks. Clearly the austerity days are a thing of the past.

[captaincolly]

If Potts and Rew are playing tomorrow they were both still on the Trent Bridge balcony this afternoon. Not a lengthy journey so they'll presumably be setting off later.
Can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be available for their respective counties.

[Durhamfootman]

spite?

[Durhamfootman]

ODI squad?

they might want to wrap players in cotton wool ahead of the WIndies tour
