County Championship: Leicestershire beat Durham before tea on day two

Paul Collingwood made five runs in his two innings in his penultimate match before retirement

Durham lost 20 wickets inside two sessions as they succumbed to an embarrassing innings defeat by Leicestershire before tea on day two.

Paul Collingwood's side were bowled out for 61 & 66 - their two lowest totals since becoming a first-class county in 1992.

Pakistan's Mohammad Abbas took five wickets in each innings for match figures of 10-52.

Earlier, Leicestershire had resumed on 316-8 and were quickly all out for 321.

Four of Durham's batsmen failed to score a run in their first innings - including a golden duck for Paul Collingwood.

Opener Alex Lees' 16 was the highest score as only four batsmen reached double figures across the two innings.

By contrast, 10 Leicestershire batsman managed double figures in their first innings - with Abbas the sole exception - helping them claim their fifth win of the campaign.

Mohammad Abbas took 50 wickets for Leicestershire this season at an average of 17.72

Leicestershire's Mohammad Abbas told BBC Radio Leicester:

"The wind was incredible. It was very difficult to bowl in those conditions.

"But the pitch had some movement and we bowled at the right areas, so that's why we had success.

"I told the coach I would try to be man of the match in my last game - I am going home for national (team) duties.

"Hopefully, I'll be back (in 2019). It depends on Pakistan."

Durham head coach Jon Lewis told BBC Newcastle:

"It is unacceptable and I can't use words you can broadcast to describe it and how I really feel.

"It is the first time I have used the word 'embarrassed' about one of my teams but it was an embarrassment.

"It is happening so often. The batting group do not have a great deal of confidence - and when they play on a difficult surface, this keeps happening.

"It is not the first time this year a bowler in their first spell has not just done us damage, but blown us away."

Analysis - Durham could not cope with Abbas' pace

BBC Newcastle cricket commentator Martin Emmerson:

Durham suffered one of their worst days in County Championship history. Their first innings total was their worst, while their second innings was their second worst and second shortest in terms of overs faced at 24.3.

In all they managed 127 runs for 20 wickets in a total of 52.3 overs. Abbas was assisted by a gale-force wind and the Durham batsman simply could not cope with his pace.

It is their third two-day defeat of the season, and their third defeat by an innings, and they have been all out for less than 100 runs four times in 2018.
