Durham are right in the middle of the relegation fight following their two-day defeat at Taunton last week. But do they have the stomach for it? Because at the moment they look a very sorry sight.
They chose to bat on a slow track today but have never got going. Surrey have bowled with discipline and tight lines and taken wickets regularly. Too many players are getting out to shots they should not be playing and confidence looks shot. The lack of foot movement is also a worry.
As things stand they will be luck to make 150 at this rate. They only made 145 in their first innings at Somerset last week - and the batting side of the team was the strong point for me this season!
Why are so many players out of form at the same time? And where are the partnerships going to come from to rescue this one?
