  2. Brown falls short of career highpublished at 12:17 British Summer Time 5 May

    Hampshire 468-9 v Durham 511

    Ben Brown has fallen just short of a career-best score today. He's just been bowled leg stump by Codi Yusuf for 162. He faced 275 balls.

    His best score was 165* in a win against Surrey last year. He also made 163* for Sussex against Durham in 2014.

    Hampshire now have the last pair at the crease and Durham will hope to be batting again in the not too distant future.

    The track remains as flat as a road and Durham's bowlers have so far sent down 153 overs.

    Hampshire 429-7 trail Durham by 82

    This time last year, in this fixture, we went into the final day with Durham still in their first innings.

    This time around it's Hampshire and I am struggling to see anything other than a draw, which is what happened 12 months ago. The track is offering little to the bowlers. Only 17 wickets have fallen in three days.

    Last May bad light and a bit of drizzle put us out of our misery mid-afternoon. There are one or two showers about today, but I am not sure they will do enough to bring about a premature end to proceedings this time around. It's chilly though. Only 9C at the moment.

    Ben Brown is resuming his innings on 143. His highest score is 165* against Surrey last year.

    I can see Hants actually gettng level, or even having a lead. But in an ideal world Durham will be batting at 4.50pm which will allow the players to shake hands and head for home.

  15. Hants avoid the follow-onpublished at 17:07 British Summer Time 4 May

    Hampshire 362-6 trail by 149

    Martin Emmerson
    BBC Radio Newcastle

    They have already bowled 119 overs, so the idea Durham would have enforced the follow-on was nothing but fanciful.

    However, Ben Brown and Felix Organ have made sure it wasn't an option. They have put on 104 runs, Hampshire's highest seventh wicket stand against Durham.

    It beats the 84 from Michael Brown and Shane Warne in CLS in 2007.

    I said earlier in the day Brown enjoys playing Durham. He's now on 112, which is his second century against them, to go with another seven half centuries. Organ has 40.

    It's a flat track which is certainly a good one from a batting point of view. And at the moment the only outcome I can see in this game is a draw some time tomorrow tea time.
