Graham Clark has just become Jack Leach's fifth victim of the Durham second innings, caught behind when on 32.

It's Leach's 25th five for for Somerset and the 33rd of his First Class career. I think it is his fourth against Durham as well.

But it all means this game still appears to be heading for a two-day finish. The lead is only small, but at what point will Somerset start to worry, on this track? Would anything above 100 be a challenge?

And just like that the wickets start to fall again at Taunton and it is the spinners who are taking them.

Neil Wagner and Emilio Gay had added 75 runs for the third wicket and made things look pretty straightforward, until Wagner tried to sweep a full toss from Archie Vaughan and fell LBW for 33.

Gay was out four balls later, clipping a catch to the diving Craig Overton at mid-wicket, off the bowling of Jack Leach. He departed for 42 with the score still on 76.

Only one more run was added before Colin Ackermann fell for a third-ball duck. He mistakenly chipped a ball from Leach to Tom Banton at mid-off and fell to a great diving catch. It left him with a pair from this game.

I believe this one will be over today.

Half an hour into day two and Durham have not lost a wicket yet.

22 wickets fell yesterday, partly down to some good bowling, partly due to some very poor batting and partly due to a very dusty pitch which started doing things mid-afternoon.

But we have had seamers on so far today and now the spinners have returned. We've had the starter. Is this the main course?

In my preview video this morning I said it would not be out of the question to think this one could be over today.

There have been lots of discussions in the press box about the state of the track and there's a feeling Somerset may yet face some action because of it. We will have to wait and see what happens there.

But as things stand Durham are doing their bit to avoid an innings defeat. Best case scenario for them is they are still batting at the close of play. But at the moment that seems a bit fanciful.
