Maybe they're going to declare. But I would probably make sure they get 220 ish in front.

They shouldn't have to slog to get that by tea.

cheers just found it on cricinfo

if we bat an hour till tea then another 60 runs for a lead of 220 odd, should be on.

though the weather forecast is canny for the rest of the day and tommorrow, so they may bat on further to get a 300 lead

if it was me, i would declare in the next five mins and have a bowl for half an hour pre the tea break.

165 the lead
 
The colonel might want to stay in till the lead gets to 200, to protect his current championship avgerage of 158 for this season :lol:
 
Benks and Stokes partnership is the highest ever in the County Championship. Whether that's for Durham or all teams I dont know.

i think it might be for durham.

wonder what the partnership was when lara scored 501 v durham, about a decade or so back?

No, no, no! Bat properly, but them in with an hour or so left. Lancs 4 down at stumps.

Never underestimate the value of torturing the fielding team.

i am impatient:lol:

176 the lead.

i think 200 is the target, then get them in to bat
 
503 for 7

lead of 190 :-D:-D:-D:-D

looks like we will possibly declare at tea (340pm)
 
Lead over 200 now. I'd declare now, or at least a bit before tea because you're effectively getting some free overs out of your fast bowlers as they get a rest at tea and can then start again afterwards.

thats what i fancied but i think its too late now, with tea at 340pm.

might as well bat on, make them come out after tea, then declare after an over, to arse them about a bit

208 the lead
