Durham have missed out on a third batting point by just four runs, as Jack White took three wickets on the second morning of this match to pick up his first five wicket haul for Yorkshire.

He took two wickets in a maiden over in the fourth over of the day. He took Matty Potts' middle stump out of the ground when he was on 31. That ended an excellent stand for the eighth wicket with Ben Raine at 87 runs.

White then bowled Daniel Hogg for a fourth ball duck and a few overs later saw off Ben Raine for 101. Raine looked to pull the ball through the legside but edged down to George Hill at third man. White finished with figures of 20.2 overs, 5-69.

How important could that missed point prove to be come the end of the game and relegation though?

Durham really needed David Bedingham to stick around all day, but he's just fallen to a cracking catch from George Hill.

With the new ball only three overs old, Bedingham looked to pull Jack White through the leg side, but got a thick edge off the bottom corner of the bat.

The ball shot into the air, up over the slip cordon and Hill chased what appeared to be a lost cause, all the way down to third man, before sliding in on his knees to take the catch.

It was a bitter blow for Durham, who are still five away from a vital batting point. Bedingham came in with them 7-2 after 4.1 overs this morning and faced 195 balls.

After a 101 partnership for the fourth wicket, Durham have now lost two in the space of 2.2 overs.

Will Rhodes was on 50 when he pulled a ball from Dom Bess straight to James Wharton at mid-wicket. And one soon led to two as Ollie Robinson was out just seven balls into his innings.

He's struggled at times this year and chose to leave a ball from George Hill which clipped his off stump. He departed for one.

Robinson spent the winter overseas with the England Test side but looks way off the player he was in 2024. Last year he averaged 48.38 and his season included two centuries and five half centuries. He made 871 runs.

This year he's averaging 29 with one century and three half centuries. He's scored 587 runs, which is quite a difference.

David Bedingham, who has 66, has now been joined by Graham Clark.

David Bedingham has been very patient today and has reached 50 for the 59th time in first-class cricket - and how Durham needed that after they were reduced to 7-2 when he came in.

He added 51 for the third wicket with Ben McKinney, who was out before lunch for 29.

And since then he and Will Rhodes have added another 86.
