Durham 59-2 v Notts.
Martin Emmerson
BBC Radio NewcastleDebutant Fergus O'Neill took two wickets in his first spell of County Championship cricket. The seamer has joined Notts for the first part of the season and both his victims were caught behind.
Ben McKinney, who recently played against O'Neill for England Lions against Australia A, was on five when he edged to keeper Joe Clarke. Emilio Gay did the same thing and went for an eight-ball duck.
His first spell of bowling lasted seven overs and he took 2-24.
The sun is shining here and we are expecting highs of 19C today. Contrast that to the first match of the 2021 season between these two when the players stayed on the field as it snowed during one bitterly cold afternoon.
