Adam Lyth has been a thorn in the Durham side over the years and is doing very Adam Lythy things again to them today.

He's now reached 50 against them for the 10th time in FC cricket. It's now six half centuries and four centuries.

And on the basis of what we are seeing here he would appear to have many more runs in the tank, despite reaching the age of 38 today.

He's also put on a stand of 93 so far with Indian batsman Mayank Agarwal, who is batting with a bandaged arm following a blow off a Ben Raine delivery earlier.

The physio has been on to treat him three times and supply pain killers. Agarwal has 52 and Lyth 57.
