From my recollection the finals against Gloucester and Notts were nowhere near full houses but I take your point about a Saturday.

157- 5 now
Selman, Root and Carlson all gone in quick succession. Carlson the real blow as he was playing very well
TV Replay shows that the ball for Root's LBW pitched outside leg stump but didn't review ( I presume reviews are allowed in the Royal London.
It was looking like they would get over 300. That will be a struggle now.
They’ve all got out when an acceleration was on the cards. Slowed up trying to rebuild. Frustrating.
Every time a partnership is building Durham take a wicket. Frustrating.
We need to ensure we bat the full fifty overs. At 157/2 we should have been looking at over 300. Selman didn’t need to take a risk at that stage. The pitch looks flat and the outfield quick so we really need 300 on the board but that’s looking unlikely
Looking very very unlikely now, Weighell looked in good form too.
Frustrating.
Hogan is a real character. Not bad for a 40-y-o.
296/9 after 50 overs
Hogan has more work to do yet but take 296 especially since he came in.
I'd say outside chance.
30 runs left out there at least
Too many wickets given away when they were looking to accelerate
Good wicket as ten out the eleven batsman got into double figures.
Need early wickets
Decent total. A good effort. Need to break up their partnerships like they did to us.
It’s light of what it should have been but at 203/6 it was looking very iffy.
A couple of early wickets needed
It is shy of what would be seen as a par score but not by too many.
Defendable but Durham are very much a batting side.
This probably comes down to who handles the pressure better.
Gotta take our chances when they come.
Haven't had the rub yet, unlike them!
Durham’s openers have ridden their luck here. Very frustrating. We need a wicket or two.
There's the first :thumbup:
