    Ethan Brookes has become the second Worcestershire batsman to score a century in this game.

    Gareth Roderick made 151 earlier, but Brookes has just been bowled on 100 by Matty Potts. He threw the kitchen sink at a ball and lost his off stump. The knock included 11 fours and one six. The only six of the match.

    And I have no idea why they have not declared. Tom Taylor has also just reached 50.

    Durham didn't bother taking the second new ball until the 164th over with the score 554-8. They have been in the field for 165.4 overs and as a result of that this is their second longest bowling spell in FC cricket.

    The longest is 176 overs batted by Yorkshire in 2010 when they made 610 runs.
