Perhaps I was thinking of this 65 not out in the first innings to take Notts over 200 having been 77/7 and 35 in the second to help set up a win after they were well behind on first innings.

Carse has 0-90 off 16

So we'll already have 2 centurions soon and we're only partway through the second game!
Think he's a rhythm bowler so we can blame England.

[Durhamfootman]

a wide that must have gone for 5, 9 no balls and I've watched him fire a high percentage of balls down the leg side. Capt Ned has had his work cut out saving byes today

Poor return today

new ball due in a couple of balls

It's taken Capt Ned 16 overs to work out Carse is bowling Pap. All the other bowlers are containing well. Capt Tom couldn't have done worse.

[Durhamfootman]

well at least he decided against giving him the new ball again

I thought Salisbury bowled quite well today. Asked lots of questions and picked up the wickets of batsmen who were set. He picked up the only lbw that the umpires couldn't turn down, sent Bohannon's off stump cartwheeling and flattened Woods middle stump

Lees out for 0! Must be localised rain because it has been dry all morning a couple of miles out of Chester-le-Street. Sun is out here but when I was walking I could see floodlights on in the distance. So it'll probably be horrendous batting conditions when they get back on. Deficit is 125.

[captaincolly]

21/4. Lancashire won't have to bat again. I know conditions are bowler friendly and batsman are lacking practice but our lot seem significantly worse than any other side.

the Lancs bowlers put on 31 for the 10th wicket (against the new ball, btw) and then our top 5 batsmen subside to 35-5

thank goodness we didn't get promoted last year or we'd be facing a whole season of this men against boys stuff next year

Yep. Nowhere near division 1 standard. At least this should be over soon!

[Durhamfootman]

Burnham has now faced 16 balls and scored 9 runs, so it must be time for him to lose concentration and do something stupid.... slap a wide ball straight to the point fielder or something

[Durhamfootman]

Capt Ned goes instead. 49-6

don't worry though, Burnham will soon follow

[Durhamfootman]

Carse completes his stellar game

49-7

[Durhamfootman]

says something when a score of 308 is good enough to complete an innings victory in August
