[Durhamfootman]

200 for Bedders

[Durhamfootman]

a little earlier Reece wandered over to Bedders to have a look at his bat..... presumably to make sure that it does have an edge somewhere

[Arthur Crabtree]

Get 450 up ASAP and declare.

Seemingly Mark Wood can't play for us, but is allowed to turn out for Ashington at the weekend

Originally said he couldn't bowl but Colly has just tweeted "unfortunately for us he's allowed to bowl 2x4 over spells". You just know he's going to reserve them for when Colly comes out to bat.
And back to the real world. Arrive changed and bring your own tea.

[Durhamfootman]

Raine holes out and we are now 429-8

Bedders still going on 236

[Durhamfootman]

Bedders on 245 has Love, HUssey and Diva in his sights. If he scores another 10 runs or so he'll overtake their top scores. Not sure what the highest ever score is by a Durham player, but Bedingham is 5th on the list, seemingly

Brings up his 250

[Durhamfootman]

Martin Love holds the record with 273

[captaincolly]

Fallen just short. Gone for 257. 458/9.

[Durhamfootman]

475 all out

Rushy on a roll...... has all 3 Derby wickets to fall.

Wood had his off stump uprooted by a ball that nipped back and 2 balls later du Plooy was trapped in front. Reece was caught behind off a leg side strangle and looked distraught when given out. Umpire took a while to raise his finger, so he considered it carefully. My first thought was that he'd tickled it or gloved it, but then I'm in no position to tell really

I see Weighell is 18 not out for Glamorgan.

adds a wicket and a run out to his 18

[Durhamfootman]

has the makings of a 200 run partnership this

[Durhamfootman]

Stonemercenary out for 2

ain't that a shame

[captaincolly]

The familiar pattern. It's going to be tough taking 20 wickets. If the new ball doesn't get 4 or 5 it becomes a real challenge.
Funnily enough I think Borthwick might be a threat.

[captaincolly]

Rushworth with the breakthrough. Is that his 500th Championship wicket?
