    Durham v Worcestershire 244-4

    Gareth Roderick and Brett D'Oliveira have put on 109 so far for Worcestershire.

    I have to say things have looked absolutely straightforward for them. Both have reached half centuries as well.

    The Durham bowling attack continues to look ordinary and I am struggling to see - again - where the wickets are coming from.

    I can't think of a false shot from either of the batsmen. And they don't appear to be under any real pressure at the moment.

  10. Mix-up ends a promising knockpublished at 14:15 BST

    Worcestershire 146-4 v Durham

    Martin Emmerson

    Reehan Edavalath will no doubt spend the next hour or so in the dressing room, thinking about what could have been.

    The 21-year-old is playing in his third first-class match and was on 61 when he had a rush of blood and ran himself out.

    Brett D'Oliveira guided a ball from Ben Raine to Graham Clark at backward gully. There was certainly no run to be had but Edavalath set off anyway.

    By the time he realised his mistake it was too late and he was run out by Alex Lees as he tried to get back to the crease at the bowler's end.

    It was the second wicket to fall just after lunch. He and Daniel Lategan had earlier put on 84 for the third wicket. Lategan was on a career-best 44 when he fell lbw to Raine in the 39th over.

  11. 50 for Edavalathpublished at 13:47 BST

    Worcestershire 123-2 v Durham

    Reehan Edavalath has reached his first 50 in first-class cricket. He's batted really nicely and the knock included eight fours.

    He put on 84 with Dan Lanegan, but it has clouded over and gone a bit overcast just after lunch.

    This would be a good time for Durham to try and use the overhead conditions to their advantage. They need wickets to get bonus points on the board.

    Durham v Worcestershire 122-2

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    After yesterday's rain, Durham decided to put Worcestershire in today, but at lunch on day two - having lost all of day one - they are 107-2.

    In the circumstances, I think they will be happy with the way the morning session went.

    Although Jake Libby was out for 15 and Kashif Ali for 10, Reehan Edavalath and and Daniel Lategan saw them through to the break.

    Their partnership so far is worth 73 and both have career-best scores. Edavalath, who is 21, has 55. Ninteen-year-old Lategan has 38.

    Durham have struggled to bowl sides out this season. It's one of the main reasons why they are in the relegation zone. And so far they are yet to pick up a bowling point in this one.
