Zimbabwean Michael Booth is having an afternoon to remember. He took two wickets in two overs before lunch and two in the space of five balls after it, to leave him on a career-best 4-15.

In his fourth over he cleaned up Colin Ackermann with a yorker which removed two stumps. He was out for four. Three balls later the out of form Ollie Robinson edged to Rob Yates at second slip to depart for one.

Booth's first wicket today came from his fifth ball. By the time he'd bowled 3.5 overs he had 4-10.

It's doubtful the injured David Bedingham will be able to bat so Durham are effectively five down. The ball is nipping about when the sun goes in and it's coldish. Booth is getting the best out of the conditions.

It took 40 minutes for Durham to get the first of the two Warwickshire wickets they needed to see off their first innings. And, then like buses, two came along at once.

Ethan Bamber was the first to go for 21, edging a ball from Matthew Potts to Colin Ackermann at second slip. That ended a partnership of 43 for the ninth wicket with Michael Booth.

Booth finished on 58* because moments after Bamber departed so too did Vishwa Fernando. He was bowled by debutant Brendan Doggett for one.

Doggett finished with 3-71 while Daniel Hogg took 3-60. Durham's lead is not massive at 62 runs, but they do have a slight advantage over the visitors.

It's a sunny day in CLS but there's a distinctly different feel to events today. The wind has picked up and it feels a lot cooler, with highs of only 12C expected compared to the warmth of the previous two days.

The first job for Durham is to try and see off the Warwickshire tail. The new ball is two overs old and it brought a wicket with its sixth delivery last night.

Michael Booth will resume on his highest score of 50 and he also staved off a heavy first innings deficit for The Bears last night when he put on 115 runs for the seventh wicket with Kai Smith.

Smith looked set for his first century but lofted a ball to third man Emilio Gay when he was on 79. It was the only mistake of his innings but it was costly.

There may be a spot of rain around later, but hopefully this game will advance at a rate of knots today.

Kai Smith and Michael Booth have put a partnership together of 101 runs and helped Warwickshire pass the follow-on target too.

Durham haven't really had a sniff of a wicket since tea. The pitch seems flat and slow and the ball is 72 overs old.

Smith also looks set for his first century in FC cricket, having scored his first 50 earlier. He is on 77 and Booth is on 27.

It's gloomy and the lights have been on since 5.27pm. There are nine overs left today and we are looking at a finish of around 6.30pm.

With four overs to go to tea Warwickshire are now six down. Ed Barnard is the latest to go as debutant Brendan Doggett has him caught at mid-on for 12.

Doggett has taken wickets in consecutive overs. Sam Hain was caught down the legside by Ollie Robinson on 30 in his previous over.

It has clouded over here and got a bit gloomy in the last hour or so and maybe the change in conditions is helping the bowlers. But Warwickshire have a battle on their hands at the moment.

Matthew Potts looked set for a second consecutive century against Warwickshire, having come in yesterday afternoon with Durham on 234-7.

He batted really nicely and added 120 for the eighth wicket with Ben McKinney. Whern McKinney was out for 153, Potts continued to push the scoring rate along.

But he was eventually out for 70, stumped by Kai Smith off the bowling of Tazeem Ali. The decision from umpire Paul Pollard left the batsman looking rather stunned.

Durham were then dismissed for 387 as debutant Aussie Brendan Doggett got a third ball duck, LBW to Ali, who finished with career-best figures of 4-66. Having said that, the 18-year-old leg spinner is only playing in his second match.

We've had 105 overs and time is running out for a fourth batting point for Durham, but that's not worrying Matthew Potts.

He's just pulled Michael Booth into the car park for six and followed that up next ball with a four. He now has 69.

Durham have lost the services of Ben McKinney this morning. He was caught behind, down the legside by young keeper Kai Smith, off the bowling of Ethan Bamber, when on 153.

He and Potts added 120 for the eighth wicket and took Durham to a third batting point.
