It's a sunny day in CLS but also very windy, with gusts approaching 50mph. There's the odd shower about but anything which does come our way will blow through quickly.

Although Somerset's second innings got off to a reasonable start last night, this has been a difficult track to bat on - 18 wickets fell yesterday and this game will finish today, probably around mid afternoon.

Whether that will be a Somerset win - they need another 194 runs - or a Durham victory - nine wickets needed - remains to be seen.

Somerset will resume their second innings on 71-1 and their target of 265 would be the second highest total in the game if they can pull it off.

The highest score in the match remains Ollie Robinson's 52 from Durham's first innings. So this is anything but a straightforward run chase.

Andy Umeed took a great catch in the gully to remove Ollie Robinson for 33 a few moments ago.

His 52 in the first innings remains the highest score in the game and I am fairly convinced this one will be over today.

Durham are 99-6 but now lead Somerset by 204 runs and in a low-scoring epic, that may well already be enough.

Thomas Rew has replaced his brother James behind the stumps for Somerset.

James, who is due to captain England Lions next week, has gone to hospital for a check on a hand injury.

His 17-year-old brother is in the first year of is A Levels at King's College in Taunton and recently signed a short-term contract to play in all formats for Somerset.

After a 20 minute delay, because of showers during lunch, play has resumed on day two. Nine wickets have fallen so far today and I imagine there will be a few more this afternoon.

George is a familiar face at the Stadium of Light and was chairman of the Sunderland Supporters Association for 27 years.

Ex-Black Cats chairman Stewart Donald is looking after George and paying for the whole weekend.

Mandy Redford, George’s daughter, said: "Stewart has been incredible with my dad, I could not thank him enough for thinking about him as Sunderland is his life. This means the absolute world to him to be going to Wembley."
