Nottinghamshire v Durham, Chester-le-Street, 3rd day

August 4, 2011

351 and 37 for Durham v Nottinghamshire 2261

Durham was frustrated by the weather over three days at Chester-le-Street, where only 12.2 overs were played in the Championship leaders' Division One match against Nottinghamshire. Durham go into the final day on 37 for two in their second innings, leading by 127, and may find it difficult to set a target without risking defeat.

When you start later, only six could be over, Durham proceeds without the loss of six to 22 seconds before the break. Play resumed at 14:50 and 6.2 transfers have lost both openers. Will Smith was the first to go when he hit a long jump directly to Charlie Shreck, Sam Kelsall cover.

Without further addition, Gordon Muchall pushed forward and cut off a good ball from Chris Read, Darren Pattinson. Paul Collingwood was surprised Shreck took place directly behind the square four balls, then pulled Pattinson midwicket rope and top-edged hook was trying to put the leg of the second line. Apparently intended to be part of the lost time, but broke even the rain, which turned out to be terminal.

Durham usual opener, Michael Di Venuto, is not expected to take part in the match due to injury to a finger trying to take a firm grip. X-ray showed no break and hope the club has accepted the T20-Life Friends of the Sunday quarter-final against Hampshire is a Rose Bowl.
