Hampshire 362-6 trail by 149
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleThey have already bowled 119 overs, so the idea Durham would have enforced the follow-on was nothing but fanciful.
However, Ben Brown and Felix Organ have made sure it wasn't an option. They have put on 104 runs, Hampshire's highest seventh wicket stand against Durham.
It beats the 84 from Michael Brown and Shane Warne in CLS in 2007.
I said earlier in the day Brown enjoys playing Durham. He's now on 112, which is his second century against them, to go with another seven half centuries. Organ has 40.
It's a flat track which is certainly a good one from a batting point of view. And at the moment the only outcome I can see in this game is a draw some time tomorrow tea time.

Hampshire 243-5 trail Durham by 268
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleBen Brown started the day with 821 runs against Durham, made up of a century and seven half-centuries.
It's now eight half-centuries after he reached 50 in 102 balls and 7x4s.
The one wicket to fall since lunch saw Liam Dawson bowled by Matty Potts on 25. Potts has taken 3-42 in 17 overs. He is bowling a really good spell and looks more than up for the task in hand. He looks quick today as well.
The follow-on target, which I am not sure would be enforced, is 362.

'A lot fresher in Southampton'published at 11:42 British Summer Time 4 May
Hampshire 131-3 v Durham 511
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleWe were wondering how this game would move on today, because it's been a good track for runs so far, despite it being a used wicket.
However, Durham have managed to take two early wickets. Mark Stoneman was caught behind off Matty Potts when he was on 57. That ended a partnership with Nick Gubbins which was worth 105.
Tom Prest then made a brief appearance in the middle before being caught behind as he tried to cut a delivery from left-arm spinner Callum Parkinson. He was out for one.
It certainly feels a lot fresher in Southampton today. It is breezy and cooler than yesterday, but the sun is still shining.
