Looks as tho Durham prepared a pitch to get a result. 17 wickets on the first day. No batting points for Durham - not too good for them if they also lose and get a deduction for dodgy pitch!

Listened to some commentary on that... lots of movement apparently, though Durham still batted atrociously.

Useful for us though!

Durham struggling. 3 wickets down and still about 40 behind.

Encouraging. Just need a penalty points deduction to follow plus a temporary outbreak of ill health affecting Lancs and Worcs.

Alternatively, Surrey could win a couple of games ....

Notts and Warwickshire looking pretty in the title race so far

[guildfordbat]

Middlesex 6-2, needing 112 more.

Rather worried ....

[JDizzle]

Jimmy Taylor hundred.

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Middlesex need another 60 with 5 wickets left

Middlesex need another 60 with 4 wickets left

Corporal - I wondered why you had made the same post twelve hours apart and then I noticed the difference!

From a Surrey perspective, looks like we'll be hanging on a points deduction for Durham ....

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Hi Guildford - looks like a nail bitter at Durham. Middlesex lower order quite strong so "Ice" Berg may yet hole Durham's chances below the water line....

Meanwhile Surrey collapse underway.

I trust the plane was on time....

[Corporalhumblebucket]

Berg gone....Middlesex in deep trouble....tho Rayner is a good batsman to have coming in at fall of 7th wicket, with Murtagh still to come.... 41 needed.

8 wickets needed for Yorkshire vs Leics today. And maybe a little chase as well. I'd be surprised if we pulled it off to be honest.

Rain at Leicester

[liverbnz]

Leics 95/5 at lunch. 70 odd behind still.

Harmison bowling his usual mixture of jaffers and fodder. 3/35 of 8.

[liverbnz]

Another frustrating rain enforced draw. Now I know what it feels like to be a lancs fan
