we are batting second and we've made a good start with a wicket for Bas in the second over

I'm trying to remember if it was the 50 over stuff where we first saw Dickson show why we'd signed him in the first place after an indifferent red ball start to his first season with us

[captaincolly]

I think it was.

Dicko might not have to bat at this rate

[captaincolly]

Looking ominous. Run rate OK at the minute but 9 wickets in hand and plenty of time to accelerate. Not the strongest attack either so there could be carnage.

[Durhamfootman]

what could possibly go wrong in the last 20 overs?



I'm going to head down shortly, now that the gold rush appears to be over on the telly

[Durhamfootman]

Ackermann gets 2 in 2, bowling Rew first ball

and now Dicko is at the crease

[captaincolly]

We'll be in for a trial by spin by the sound of it. What could possibly go wrong?

[Durhamfootman]

Coggers on a hat trick now

[Durhamfootman]

Doesn’t get it, but it might slow the scoring down a bit

Excellent recovery. I thought they'd start playing the bowlers to all parts after that 2nd wicket stand.
Now can they avoid letting them off the hook , couldn't against Worcestershire.

McKinney falls chasing 242

Never looked settled. Couldn’t have timed the boiling of an egg

Lees goes next over. Lbw I think, but it sounded like there an edge to me

Collapse is on

Those 2 wickets fell as soon as I arrived!

[captaincolly]

Ackermann gone. Looked like another iffy decision? 48/3.

[Durhamfootman]

Took only two balls of spin to take a wicket

Took only two balls of spin to take a wicket

And a couple more for another!
