Emilio Gay with the 3rd duck in two games... ouf

Rhodes has only scored 30 runs in 4 knocks, too

Michael Booth was unlucky against us last week, thought he bowled well on a pitch that helped none of the seamers. To the eye, he looks like he has a bit of extra pace and bounce to most around- maybe one to watch out for this season.

[Durhamfootman]

yes, he bowled well whilst I was watching

has 7 in this match plus a vital late order 50, so will doubtless get a new contract next week

Yes, baptism of fire!

[captaincolly]

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

He's in now but with a runner! Usually a recipe for chaos. 125/6 .Lead 187.

[Durhamfootman]

oh Lordy

heads down

You got the annoying Brummy guy from Warwickshire on comms, or the Aussie girl Mel? I hope for your sake its the latter, and you aren't also having to repeatedly hear how every single Warwickshire player under 23 is a future test legend.

He spent a whole day talking about Hamza Sheikh being an exceptional talent, and how he would take the league by storm this year - even tried to say Sheikh picked the gap expertly when he edged at hip height 50 cm from second slips reach.

under 30 runs in 3 innings... there is a new sheriff in town.

[Durhamfootman]

are you down there Capt?

How's the runner working out...... any alarms?

I haven't watched the live feed yet, this year. I'm not sure why. Hadn't even thought about it, tbh

[Durhamfootman]

we've declared on 276-8

there are 4 overs remaining today and the Warks target is 339, which is more than I was expecting at 87-5 and 125-6

it's going to be a much cooler and more cloudy day tomorrow, but should stay dry

Yes. I was there and there were - surprisingly! - no problems with the running!

Should be interesting, was entertaining today. Looked like a debacle was on the cards after the clatter of wickets but then an excellent recovery. A loose shot from McKinney but that partnership with Raine was vital.

[Durhamfootman]

yes it was. We could easily have let the match slip away at that point

the weather ought to help us tomorrow, but there's still a lot to do. All 3 results are possible

Yes. It should be an intriguing day.
