This game was over, in terms of a Durham win, after the first 10 overs of their second innings last night.

They lost three wickets during that period of gloomy cricket, one when most people in the ground would not have expected to see any play.

Even though the lights were on it was dark. The sky leaden in colour and it felt like the end of October, not August.

Durham resumed this morning on 15-3, needing another 405 to beat Somerset. But the reality was they needed to bat out the day for a draw.

Archie Vaughan got the first wicket of the day, as nightwatchman Callum Parkinson was out for 18, while Jack Leach took the other two wickets to fall before lunch, including that of the other night watchman, George Drissell, for a career-best 33.

Ollie Robinson also fell for four. So at six down this is very much a battle for survival on another gloomy, but humid afternoon, in Taunton.

I was convinced there would be no more play today, so much so I recorded my end of play voice piece. My colleague was on his way to the dressing rooms to grab an interview and others had headed home.

Then I spotted the little roller being used and Archie Vaughan doing some bowling warm-ups. Surely not? But yes, the umpires Rob Bailey and Mike Burns brought the players back on just after 6pm and said there would be another 14 overs in the gloom.

That has somewhat backfired on the Durham skipper Scott Borthwick. He was arguing earlier it was too dark to be in the field, while the Somerset batsmen said they were happy to play on.

So when he brought Brydon Carse into the attack the umpires said it was too dark for him to bowl and everyone walked off. Somerset then cunningly declared and said they were happy to bowl their spinners. And the players came back on.
