We have had a bit of rain in the North East overnight. Good for the garden and all that, but it's made for really muggy conditions in CLS.
It's humid and about 19C. I think we could see the ball swinging around as a result of that - on a track where nobody really looked particularly comfortable yesterday.
The highest score in the match so far is Ollie Robinson's 52.

Durham 243-9 v Somerset
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleWe watched Durham score their highest FC total at this ground last weekend. Today I am not sure they will reach 300.
They won the toss and decided to bat but despite a few starts, nobody has gone on to a big score. Ollie Robinson's 52 is the best so far.
The track has quite a bit of uneven bounce and a few deliveries have been shooting through to the keeper. It's difficult to know what a good score is on it.
Matt Henry has taken 4-50, with three of the wickets coming in wicket maidens in the first over of a spell.
Somerset tied up the three bowling points after 64.5 overs. Durham are seven away from a batting point.

Durham 169-5 v Somerset
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleOllie Robinson has come out and played aggressively this afternoon. He reached his half century in 52 balls and hit nine fours before falling to the bowling of Matt Henry.
He was caught behind by the diving James Rew after chasing a wide one. He'd put on 56 runs with Colin Ackermann, who has 14.
Today's half century comes on the back of a century in the win against Notts last weekend and a fifty in the draw at Hampshire three weeks ago.
It's nice to see him back in the runs after a few months of struggle with the bat. But it would have been better to see him push on this afternoon.
