Durham 358 v Essex 293-3
Jordan Cox has finally moved into double figures, taking three off this latest Matthew Potts over to reach 12 - a somewhat sluggish pace by his standards as he's been out there for around 50 minutes.
As mentioned earlier, the weather forecast for the north-east tomorrow isn't all that promising, so you feel Essex might need to force the pace at some stage.
