back of a length from Carse and it looks like Northeast pulled straight to Clark at short leg

Apparently the forecast isn't good from mid afternoon into tomorrow so might just be a race for bonus points - but the forecast could be wrong!

and now Billy Root also Ben Raine, also lbw, also stone dead

89-5

make that 94-5

Seems not - off for bad light and looks as if it will rain soon. Annoying that they have floodlights but can't use them for this competition, can't remember if the commentators said they can't use them for any domestic cricket or just the Championship.

ah well... if we get the chance to pick up 3 bowling points and take away 13 points from a tricky away game with a lot of weather around, then I suppose we'd have probably taken that before the match started

[Durhamfootman]

we're back on

it'd be good to break this stand sooner rather than later. Carlson and Cooke are Glamorgan's engine room

[Durhamfootman]

George is on

[Durhamfootman]

these two have added 50, but there's a chance to break the partnership straight after tea, if we can take it

[Durhamfootman]

18 extras thus far

feels excessive

[Durhamfootman]

rain

[captaincolly]

Forecast not good for tomorrow, not quite as bad but a similar pattern of it deteriorating after the morning. Best case scenario is probably if we have time to get the last 2 bonus points.

[Durhamfootman]

get max bonus points and we'll probably go top tomorrow, if my calculations are correct

[Durhamfootman]

looks as though it might be dry overnight, so there might be a chance of the morning session at least. the forecasts I've seen suggest a bit of rain mid afternoon, but with sunny intervals, so perhaps a bit more play than that.... who knows

Yes, hopefully we will get a decent number of overs.

It has been a very encouraging start, really should have beaten Sussex and have dominated the last two games.
The batting has been mostly excellent and the bowlers are taking wickets on some fairly docile pitches.
