301-4 a very good score! Need to press early for 5 bonus points and then get at them

Quality today. Glad Parkinson is playing, should be useful as the game goes on.

I almost feel like I'm dreaming with with us passing 250 and only 3 wickets down. I'm waiting for it to go wrong. 

 

On another note, I'm sure you guys will have noticed Marcus Trescothick score exactly 100 for Somerset. 42 years old and still better than most batsman around. Who knows how many more runs he should have got for England. 

Broke a bone in his foot also.

301/4 at close is a great start. Push on to wrap up the batting points before lunch and let’s start taking some wickets.

[Ross-Kemp]

440 all out. 

 

Durham currently 14/3.

 

COME ON LEICESTERSHIRE.

51/5.  Blimey, if we can do the unthinkable and clear the tail, we could be looking at a follow on.

When was the last time County enforced a follow on?

2010 and they have just enforced it

Wow didn’t realise it had been that long! Durham digging in now, it going to take a lot of patience 

[katieakita]

Hard graft probably but  sounding good listening to Radio Leicester

Carberry's  dropped a bollock here methinks ....We're looking weary and increasingly frustrated. Wouldn't be surprise if Durham top 350 this time round !

I was in 2 minds about whether we should have enforced the follow on. The issue with not going for it is that we probably still don't have the firepower to knock 10 wickets down in less than a day.

[Hitesh]

Not paying off so far. They are cruising in their second innings and in this heat its probably going to take its toll. I would have come out and hit 150-200 runs and given the bowlers a rest. 

[Ted Maul]

Certainly need a couple in the evening session. 

[Voll Blau]

Bit of a breakthrough.

Get a few more before stumps and we'll be well set for tomorrow 

[katieakita]

200-1 need a couple of wickets at least before the close

[Cake]

I had no idea it was 2010. Shame really but got to be positive. Going into the last day with a chance of a win! 

 

Possibly need to look at playing the extra bowler. Seven batsmen may be one to  many.

[Kinowe Soorie]

It's on!!

[Ross-Kemp]

383/8.

 

Durham 127 in front. Need to clean the last 2 wickets ASAP.

[HaroldBazBo]

Need em now

[Ross-Kemp]

1 to go.

 

143 is the lead. 

[Ross-Kemp]

All gone for 403.

 

148 to win. 

 

Griffiths has taken 10/83 in this match. 

 

Tea taken now. 44 overs to be played.
