If Durham were in this position it would be hoying it down now.

Hoping this rain on the radar just SW of Chelmsford moves over and hits as it looks nasty

 

[Aidan11]

100 run lead.

Hurry up rain.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

100 run lead.

Hurry up rain.

It should be hitting Chelmsford very soon if my app is accurate

 

[leecoo]

[Aidan11]

Forecast looks like this should be it for the day

[Aidan11]

Bloody hell they're back on.

 

[Marko]

Looks like rains doing a job for us.

 

[Aidan11]

Off again. Could be one of those days.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Some nasty rain just coming over Chelmsford now

 

[Aidan11]

If they get back on ive got a feeling they'll declare immediately.

 

[Raymondo]

I knew the rain wouldn’t play as much of an impact as the doomlordery from the commentators the past two days would suggest.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they get near enough a full day in today.

Barmy, barely lost any play despite it being a day that would be entirely washed out according to the local divs on commentary.

Why is it that the rain saves Yorkshire, but not us?

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Good news is that there is a lot of rain in the area

 

[Aidan11]

Looks like it started raining again while the umpires were inspecting. Looks very gloomy out there.

You can say that again again.

Rain will save Durham to.

 

[The Red Telephone]

It won't be the worst thing but it would be helpful as well if there was a winner either way in the Sussex v Hampshire game.

 

[Parkside]

Is a draw any good for us

Beginning to look as if the 12 team conference(2x6) will be accepted for next season hence no relegation according to latest Cricketer newsletter.
Sussex have apparently dropped their opposition to reduction which should now give the majority required for change
