  14. Another twist at New Roadpublished at 17:26 British Summer Time 26 April

    Durham 72-4 need another 36 to beat Worcestershire

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    Just when it looked like Durham were more or less home and hosed we have had another twist at New Road.

    Durham opener Ben McKinney had reached 34 when he looked to pull a ball from Matthew Waite to the boundary but was caught by the diving Brett D'Oliveira at mid-on.

    It was a great catch and did enough to stir up some hope among the home supporters again. A target of 108 is normally a nominal one, but on a ground where 34 wickets have fallen in five and a half sessions, it's anything but.

    If the light holds we will be in for a thrilling two-day finish in the next half hour.

    Durham target 108

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    I suggested a little earlier Worcestershire should declare because they could well have more than enough runs on this track.

    30 wickets have fallen in five sessions for 379 runs. But, they were bowled out in 23.5 overs for just 81 runs. It's their lowest total against Durham and the sixth lowest score by a county side against them as well.

    The target is 108 runs, which doesn't sound much, but on this strip that's the equivalent to 300. I don't think this game is over by any stretch of the imagination.

    I did suggest on air - this morning - the match would end today and I stand by that one. Unless bad light proves me wrong later.

    As I walked from the press box to the pavilion the first wicket had just fallen.

    As I climbed the steps wicket number two fell and by the time I had looked at the scoreboard and written down the details number three came along.

    This is just daft.

  19. What a very strange game of cricketpublished at 13:17 British Summer Time 26 April

    Durham 136 all out trail Worcestershire by 26 runs

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    We have seen 20 wickets fall in this game and we haven't had 300 runs yet. They've fallen for a total of 298.

    Durham resumed their first innings this morning on 55-4 and were soon in trouble, losing two wickets in one Ben Allison over, before George Drissell and Graham Clark added 47 for the seventh wicket.

    Clark fell for 16 and Drissell was then out for 31 - the second highest score of the game!

    Durham were dismissed just after 1pm for only 136, which is their second lowest score against their opponents.

    There were three wickets apiece for Tom Taylor and Ben Allison. But on this track, that 26-run lead could be priceless. I think this game could be over today. If not, I doubt it will reach lunch tomorrow.

  20. Durham reach 100published at 12:29 British Summer Time 26 April

    Durham 100-6 trail Worcestershire by 62

    When two wickets fell in the fourth over of the day I didn't think Durham's hopes of reaching 100 were good.

    But thanks to a partnership of 42 from Graham Clark and George Drissell they have got there. The two have been together for 104 deliveries.

    These are much-needed runs in a low-scoring epic. The highest partnership in the game is only 55! All they can do is be watchful and bat and bat. But it really is difficult to judge where we are with this game at the moment.
