….356-7 at cop, Lancs have to be happy with that, especially after Durham put them in. Terrific knock from Harris, 135*, every time a wicket fell resulted in decent partnerships on a pitch that sometimes didn’t look the easiest at times.

I’d imagine they’ll just look to continue in the same way.

Yes, good batting points today and honestly Jimmy should make the ball talk on that track.

Not been easy batting, Harris is a wonderful batsman.

Proper player that Harris. Really showing his class already this season.

Doug Bracewell 2 year ban for cocaine, not the first time he's been caught with it, announced his retirement. Too busy focusing on the line and not length.

….Harris departs early, 370-8, make that 370-9, make that 370 all out

….my word, what a delivery from Sir James Anderson, Durham 3-1.

Durham struggling a bit 8 down, still trailing by around 200.

….50* partnership for the last wicket, Lancs Achilles again.

What might have been : Durham 257-9, last 2 wickets have put on 89, the last 3 wickets 137. They might still win, but it's an annoying trend of not being able to finish of the tail that seems perennial every season.

Meanwhile, the 'substitution ' rule becomes ever more ridiculous :

….finally, Durham all out leaving Lancs with a lead of 75. Should’ve been so much better.

Cop.

Too old for McCullum though. What an awful decision that was.

I hated it, but worth noting that before baz broad and Anderson had been far more forcibly retired far earlier

Pffft. Hit and giggle cricket.

….hopefully unfounded, but I fear for Lancs this morning despite that 75 run lead. Just feel momentum is with Durham given those last wicket stands. Hopefully Lancs can get to Lunch with no more than 3 down, would give them a nice lead of 175ish.
