Durham Match Thread 2025

no late order batting stands for us. Sussex watch their Aussie take as many wickets in an innings as ours did in about 2 matches

Potts gets Hughes early, though

Sussex thrown away a decent lead in 7 overs .... Durham on top here

[Durhamfootman]

Rain delay

Coles still there, but glad to see the back of Haines

Matty Potts has wickets today

[Durhamfootman]

well, we finally have the wicket of James Coles. Only took 2 innings and 201 runs to do it

[Durhamfootman]

good recovery for Sussex

I noticed that the floodlights were on at quarter to 12 as I drove past today

Suddenly the weather is the best it's been all day

pity they've all gone home

draw looks the most likely result tomorrow. If it is, I'll take it particularly after letting Sussex add an extra hundred runs when they were down and out

I'd take the draw too. Early wickets in the morning session might make it interesting but that Sussex attack is dangerous if it turned out to be a run chase it could easily go pear shaped.

nothing at all today apart from Sussex bimbling along, building a lead... currently 243

new ball after this over, for what it's worth

I hate kookaburra rounds

[Durhamfootman]

Sussex added 100 runs in nearly 43 overs today

doesn't suggest they are keen to set up a run chase.... although I've been wrong before

[Durhamfootman]

not this time though

handshakes at 5pm on the dot.... both sides happy to take the points and go home as quick as poss

not even an attempt to declare with an hour to go to give Archer some Luke Wright time with the ball

Yes, I couldn't understand that. Surely once they were in a position where it was impossible to lose they may as well have had a bowl. We have been known to collapse in a heap!

[Durhamfootman]

they weren't remotely interested

If we were playing them at Hove on Sunday and were hoping to just wear our bowlers out, I could understand it

Campbell says Neesham and Borthwick will be in the squad for the Surrey game.

Callusm Parkinson going to Worcestershire on a one match loan deal.
