Apart from Tres, Stokes and Benks must be the most in-form players on the county circuit right now.
Colly should be in the team shortly ... but tough to figure out who to drop. Smith would seem the obvious one but there no other opener (maybe Stoneman comes in) and he just made a big hundred. I think I'd go for:
Di Venuto
Stoneman
Muchall
Stokes
Benkenstein
Collingwood
Mustard
Blackwell
+3 seamers.
Canny long batting line-up!

There's no more rain forecast for the rest of the match according to the BBC and Met Office.
So it'll bucket down for the next 2 days.

Dam the MET office, Hopefully bat up to tea tomorrow and then go at them
Great day for Durham. Why they can't play later than 6.30 is beyond me though. Weather is great. Test cricket can play past 7pm so why can't we?! Anyway, look to get 400 tomorrow, that is the aim. I'm not going to be too greedy just yet but I think if we can bat until Tea we'll be in a great position.
Anyone know what will happen if Onions is selected by england for the 2nd Test? Rumours today that he'd leave us during the game, however I don't think we've nominated anyone to fill his place if he does go. Meaning we'd be a bowler light yet again..... ECB are a joke.

I'd assume that means they're either not going to call him up, or they have to let us replace him because we cant be left with 10 men.

I think Onions might be in the squad but left out the final XI. Surely we'd be able to pull Brathwaite/Plunkett in if need be and they'd be allowed to bowl in the second innings.

yep your allowed to bring another player if a player is called for by their international team during a game.
Thought you had to name any potential substitutes before the game starts though.....?

I was there today for the final session and it was a pleasure to see Stokes batting. He just times the ball so well and seems to have the full array of shots.
Mind, the Lancs bowling looked very impotent so I can see us scoring another 250 runs by tea time. Put them in and hopefully knock a few over before close of play.
