It's been a long time since Durham last won a Championship game. That was here in May against Notts.

Today they are heading for their fifth defeat of the season - and third at home - as Surrey look set to join Warwickshire and Somerset - the previous winners here.

Judging by the way things are going in Scarborough - and the bonus points picked up in that game - Durham look set to swap second bottom spot with Yorkshire.

Unless there is a sudden rattle of wickets, or a load of rain here, Surrey should wrap this up inside three days. They need another 112 and have 31 overs in which to get them.

Durham haven't just suddenly found themselves in relegation trouble. It's been a long road to this point. Their final three games in September are away to Essex, at home to Worcestershire and away to Yorkshire. There will be a huge amount riding on those results!

Durham's resistance lasted until 14:30 BST on the third day in CLS.

Sai Kishore did the damage with the ball as he took 5-72, to gain his first Surrey five-for.

It goes without saying Durham need quick wickets here. But if they lose it's likely they will end this round of games in the bottom two. And their next championship match is at Chelmsford, where they have only won once, in 1993!

Police say they were able to identify Carl Robinson despite him covering his face with boxer shorts.

Surrey have just taken the new ball and Surrey fast bowler Jordan Clark and just delivered a juicy bouncer to his brother Graham.

The batsman did well to rock out of the road of it, but I think it caught the grill of his helment and he had to be checked over by the Durham physio. But he appears to be OK.

Graham has 23 runs and nightwatchman Codi Yusuf has 11. They have done well so far today but Durham need to bat well into day three, if not day four, to save this one.
