34 for 6.

Durham should be OK unless Sagger & Bichel do something remarkable in the next 15 minutes or so. You can't see Essex's change bowlers doing much, afaics.

EDIT

Cue the 5th wicket whilst I typed that. Ah well. Presumably Styris is the key now.

Hm, what with five days of wear and rain you'd think Middlebrook would do summat. And of course RTD is a legend and will take three wickets.

Six down, Pig gone.

Cricinfo still only have 4

 

[Tom Halsey]

If Durham do lose, I shudder to think of Scaly's reaction tbh.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Pig?.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

[TT Boy]

Liam Plunkett with a free hit six.

 

[wpdavid]

Ottis Gibson dropped.

Badly? And by whom?

 

[Tom Halsey]

I bet they win by one wicket or something.

 

[TT Boy]

Badly? And by whom?

Kaneria, straight forward catch according to the wireless.

Could anyone tell me what on earth is going on at the Riverside? Minefield or crap batting?

Sky were showing some highlights, the bounce didn't look particularly up and down, however I don't know whether it's swinging or seaming as the camera wasn't in line. I'd guess it might be swinging a bit given what the overhead conditions are supposedly like.

Well Durham made it in the end (I'm pleased they did. They deserve the chance of a Lord's Final) but they made it hard for themselves...

Yep all hail Plunkett.
