Oh sh1t we’ve declared

314 in 70 overs

We’re going to have to bowl well

Very well

There’s his hundred. Feels like awhile since the last one. I’m guessing Chelmsford two years ago?

He’s played really well this morning

Yes, think Emmerson said exactly 2 years ago. Excellent innings.

Yes! Under 5 an over seems extraordinarily generous.

[Durhamfootman]

It isn’t much more than 4 an over

Having seen the mornings play, it feels like an optimistic declaration

Yes, 6 an over would have been a minimum for me.

Ah well, the first part went to plan, as Libby nicks off to slip. Bit of a juggle, but Jones clung on

Let's hope we can get rid of Pollock before he gets settled.

Obliged

Good catch

Obliged

Good catch

Could be a huge wicket. Hopefully they'll try and regroup and that should push the required rate up.

[Durhamfootman]

That’s the first boundary that Haynes hasn’t edged

[Durhamfootman]

Less energy in the field.

[Durhamfootman]

Positively flat now

[Durhamfootman]

Nothing happening at all

[captaincolly]

Nothing happening at all

Well done!

[Durhamfootman]

What do you know, it did work after all

Another excellent catch from Ben Raine
