Durham's bowling has been excellent today - in comparison to the poor show we saw for the majority of 12 overs last night, when they conceded 52 runs.

He had Dom Sibley caught at first slip this morning for 26, before he also saw off Dan Lawrence for six and Ben Foakes for 17. The yorker he produced to trap Sam Curran, LBW for eight, was a pearler.

West Indian Chemar Holder has taken the other wicket to fall. He bowled Rory Burns for 55. He should have had Tom Curran twice though! On both occasions he edged to David Bedingham at first slip and was dropped.
