Wow, just catching up and I never expected this ..... ach! Poynter gone!

Partnership sadly comes to an end as Salisbury is caught from Harmers bowling, 41 is a fantastic effort. 238/9

Poynter 50. Great knock.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Don’t really get why they are bowling so much spin, new ball was seaming from one end and we bowled them out for 96 with just seam, yet they’re bowling almost entirely spin

 

[The Red Telephone]

Superb stuff this morning from Durham - the sheer joy of red ball cricket.

 

[brandon]

Stream is on acid

259 all out. Lead is 163.

 

[WishyWashy]

Fantastic effort this morning with the bat.

Really don't know why they went so spin heavy, although we got runs when they were bowling with seam they had a few close LBW calls and we started off with a few steaky edges.

 

[The Red Telephone]

Another 20/30 runs would be nice.

Or even 111.

 

[Monument View]

Beyond my highest expectations today but superb session by Durham
I have been a huge critic of Poynter but fair do to him and Salisbury for a gutsy and talented response

 

[harmy]

Borthwicks ton going to win us the game here.

 

[TravellingMackem]

Fantastic effort this morning with the bat.

Really don't know why they went so spin heavy, although we got runs when they were bowling with seam they had a few close LBW calls and we started off with a few steaky edges.

And the wicket was finally taken with seam

 

[The Red Telephone]

Middlesex 15 for 5 Vs Hampshire. Abbas 4 overs, 2 Maidens, 3 runs, 5 wickets

He'll be looking to bowl them out twice in a day - possibly for 61 and 66.

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Top effort from Durham and smart batting especially from Poynter with the tail.

 

[Twisted]

Batted poynter now go on and... Nevermind

 

[smoker]

Don't want to be a total Cassandra but batting conditions looked a lot easier this morning. This Essex side have the ability to bat big and we will need to be on top form with the ball.

Still 163 lead is way more than anyone expected, credit to the tailenders.

 

[Mackem DJ]

Poynter 50. Great knock.

The twice ive been arsed enough to come on here and call him a rabbit he’s batted amazing
