    Durham 151-3 and trail Sussex by 210

    Durham added 101 runs in the afternoon session on day two, but lost three wickets doing it. One of those to the returning Jofra Archer.

    The England bowler started off fairly routinely in the morning session, bowling only four overs in his first spell.

    But in the second he seemed to move up a few gears and got Emilio Gay lbw, with a quicker delivery which looked to be yorker-length. Gay was out for 37.

    Durham trail by 210 runs at tea but it is a slowish track at the moment and there are still plenty of runs to be had.

    Durham v Sussex 322-9

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    It's a sunny day in Chester-le-Street, but it isn't half windy. We have gusts of about 45mph, which will make things interesting for the players.

    The first job for Durham is to end the Sussex first innings. The last pair are in, with James Coles on 117 from 190 balls. He was dropped twice yesterday on 36 and 95. How costly will that be?

    The Durham bowlers worked hard to get the wickets though, especially with the Kookaburra ball and for a while it looked like Sussex were going to leave a few too many runs out there. But a quickfire 31 from Jofra Archer helped put a partnership together of 57 for the ninth wicket, which certainly helped their cause.

    And all eyes will be on him later when he has the ball in his hand. He will be bowling in the Championship for the first time in four years. It will also be interesting to see what Australian fast bowler Gurinder Sandhu can do on his Sussex debut.

  18. Bit of luck on Coles' sidepublished at 17:39 British Summer Time 22 June

    Durham v Sussex 278-8

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    James Coles has batted nicely today but has also had a bit of luck on his side. His fifth first class century is his first away from Hove as well.

    He should have been out on 36 though, but an edge down the leg side off Ben Raine was spilled by the keeper Ollie Robinson. He was on 95 when he had a second life. Again it was Ben Raine who should have had him, but the diving Bas de Leede spilled the chance at backward point.

    We had a 10-minute delay earlier because of passing rain but things have brightened up since then and Jofra Archer is out in the middle, for the first time in four years, in a championship match.

  19. Lights on in CLSpublished at 16:59 British Summer Time 22 June

    Sussex 250-7 v Durham

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    The lights have just come on in CLS. It's got very gloomy and there are lots of threatening clouds about. It's very windy too.

    Durham can take the new ball in two deliveries, but the runs have dried up and Jack Carson has just been caught behind off Bas De Leede on two.

    They have lost three wickets since tea for just 30 runs, but have reached a batting point. Durham will feel it's been their day though, especially with the Kookaburra ball!
