There were 44 overs left of the day when the players went off for bad light and tea at 3.48pm.

Two overs have been lost, but I think the possibility of getting the majority of the remaining 42 overs in will be on the slim side.

It's still a bit gloomy, even with the lights on and there's plenty of low cloud about.

It's got quite gloomy here again. The afternoon started with some sunshine but by 3.30pm the lights were on as low, dark cloud drifted in.

On a day where they are playing 104 overs, to try and claw back eight of the overs lost to bad light yesterday, I am not sure how much more action we will see, unless this greyness moves on through.

Yorkshire will be happy to be in the dressing room though because they have struggled with the ball today. Alex Lees has 139 and Emilio Gay 74.

They have put on 202 runs in 284 balls and if they can score three more runs they will break the Durham record, for a second wicket stand against Yorshire.

That was 204 scored by Michael Di Venuto and Will Smith here in 2009.

Alex Lees has batted really nicely today.

Despite losing Ben McKinney in the sixth over this morning, Durham have not really appeared to be in too much trouble since. Yorkshire need wickets but where are they coming from?

Alex Lees and Emilio Gay have batted steadily since coming together with Durham on 22-1 in the morning session.

Lees has 85 and Gay 41 and their second-wicket partnership is now worth 110 runs from 160 balls.

The heavy cloud cover we had earlier has broken up and it's a lot brighter now than it was earlier, so that may be helping the batsmen as well.

Durham took little time to end the Yorkshire first innings this morning, with Ben Raine taking the first wicket of the day on his second delivery, havig taken two in two with the first over of the new ball last night.

He bowled debutant Ben Sears for one, with the bail nearly making its way off the field! Dom Bess was then the last man out for 66, caught on the mid-wicket boundary by Graham Clark off Matthew Potts.

Yorkshire lost four wickets for 12 runs in just six overs after the new ball was introduced. They ended up with two batting points and Durham took three bowling points.

The hosts will now be hoping the likes of Emilio Gay, Will Rhodes and Ollie Robinson can get some runs on the board following poor starts to the season.

We have had a few partnerships which have had decent starts today, only to perish in the 40s.

But Dom Bess and George Hill have now put Yorkshire's first 50-run stand on the board and it's all gone a bit flat in the field for Durham, as it often does on afternoons here, when the ball is of a certain age. This one is 74 overs old.

The lights have been on since just before lunch and we have murky overhead conditions, but for now the umpires are happy to continue with the action.

Hill has 53 runs to his name. His half century came in 71 balls and included eight fours. Bess, who made 107 in his last match, now has 33.

New Yorkshire skipper Jonny Bairstow looked becalmed earlier. He'd faced 18 balls for just one run.

England fast bowler Matty Potts then complained to the umpires about the state of the ball and it was changed in the 44th over. Bairstow objected to the change but was ignored by the officials, so he decided to let his bat do the talking.

He hit Potts for four fours in five balls and followed that up with another at the start of his next over. During that period of play James Wharton also reached his first 50 of the season.

But Bairstow's innings wasn't to last. He soon fell lbw to Ben Raine for 22.
