    Result - Durham v Sussex

    Durham won by five wickets with Mustard making a quick 16 not out. They have won five of their last six games, but finish only sixth. Sussex will finish fourth unless Nottinghamshire win tomorrow.
  • 17:08
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    The Hatchett man has struck again, claiming his third wicket. Richardson was lbw for 58, but Mustard edged the next ball for four and only 11 are needed.
  • 16:51
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Benkenstein was bowled by Panesar for 11 with 27 needed. Richardson had just reached 50 off 123 balls by pulling Hatchett for his fifth four. It should have been stopped, but there have been a few misfields on the damp surface.
  • 16:01
    Durham v Sussex

    Play has resumed with Magoffin sending the first ball down the leg side for four byes. Durham need 60 with 34 overs remaining today.
  • 14:38
    TEA - Durham v Sussex

    Tea is being taken at 2.40, with more rain expected.
  • 14:23
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Ben Stokes has hoisted Panesar to long-off, but by making 45 off 49 balls he has left Durham needing only a further 64. They are 101-3 and rain has intervened.
  • 13:22
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Stoneman played back to a ball from Hatchett which nipped back and shot through to hit leg and middle. The opener made 26 and it's 34-2.
  • 12:40
    LUNCH - Durham v Sussex

    Durham are 26-1 with Stoneman on 21 and Richardson four.
  • 12:20
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Keaton Jennings has gone for one, edging a steeply-bouncing ball from Lewis Hatchett to Mike Yardy at second slip. Durham are 17-1. Will we have a repeat of the drama these two sides created at Arundel?
  • 11:58
    Interval - Durham v Sussex

    Sussex are all out for 180, leaving Durham to score 165 to win. Rushworth beat his career-best for the third time this season, finishing with 5-38 when Panesar lobbed a catch to mid-on. Onions bowled equally well and had 0-54.
  • 11:55
    Player milestone - Durham v Sussex

    C Rushworth achieved his best bowling in First-Class matches
  • 11:38
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Rushworth has a fourth wicket after Magoffin sliced a drive to gully, making it 170-9.
  • 11:20
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Now Rushworth has moved one into the right-handed Brown to claim another lbw victim. Sussex lead by 133 with two wickets standing, so barring rain there will be no fourth day here.
  • 11:13
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    At 6ft 9in, Will Adkin might find it difficult to dig out a yorker and he was lbw for six when Chris Rushworth swung one in to him on the boot. Ben Brown is again going well on 30, Sussex are 140-7.
  • 10:46
    Durham v Sussex

    Luke Wells has fallen to the 16th ball of the day without addition to his 51. He was neither forward nor back to a ball from Stokes which pitched on off stump and took the edge on the way to Phil Mustard.
  • 10:31
    Durham v Sussex

    It's a bright morning at Cherster-le-Street. With the game evenly poised will this be the last day of the season here or will Sussex's remaining five wickets stretch the lead of 96 beyond 200?
  • Wednesday 12/09/2012
  • 18:12
    Close Of Play - Durham v Sussex

    Sussex closed on 112-5 with Wells on 51 and Brown on 12. Wells reached his 50 off 96 balls by slicing his eighth four through gully, where he had survived a sharp chance to Stokes on 35.
  • 16:54
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Machan has gone for six and Wernars for one, so Sussex are 69-5, leading by 53. Machan, a less tubby version of another Matt (Walker), was caught behind playing back to Stokes and Wernars was pinned lbw by a Thorp yorker.
  • 16:14
    TEA - Durham v Sussex

    Sussex are 51-3, leading by 35, with Wells on 20 and Machan yet to score
  • 16:09
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

  • 15:55
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Callum Thorp came on for the 14th over and struck with his second ball, having Michael Yardy lbw for 29 to make it 46-2.
  • 15:11
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Chris Nash fell to Rushworth's first ball in the first innings and third this time. He was lbw for nought, leaving him on 984 championship runs for the season.
  • 14:52
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Durham failed to add and were all out for 227. Onions went down the track to Panesar's first ball on the resumption and was bowled for nine. Durham finish the season with 18 batting points, gaining only seven at home.
  • 14:11
    Durham v Sussex

    Play will resume at 2.45. 16 overs have been lost, so 45 remain.

  • 12:24
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Now Callum Thorp has been bowled by Wernars and three wickets have gone down for one run. It's 203-9.
  • 12:18
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    In the next over, Kirk Wernars' first of the day, Borthwick chipped to short mid-wicket, where Mike Yardy stuck out his left hand to hold the catch.
  • 12:15
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Acting captain Chris Nash finally made the breakthrough with his fifth ball. He had Phil Mustard lbw for 45, ending a stand of 83 with Scott Borthwick, who is on 35. Durham are 202-7, nine behind
  • 10:31
    Durham v Sussex

    Underway on time at Chester-le-Street, where Monty has opened up with overnight figures of 5-3-4-2. It's a cloudy morning and on 131-6 Durham need a stand between Mustard and Borthwick.
  • Tuesday 11/09/2012
  • 18:27
    Close Of Play - Durham v Sussex

    Durham closed on 131-6 after Monty Panesar picked up two for four in five overs. Paul Collingwood fell for 19 when he failed to clear mid-on and Mark Stoneman was caught at slip by Mike Yardy for 52.
  • 16:42
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    The metronomic Magoffin has bowled both Stokes (22) and Benkenstein (6) and has 3-17 in nine overs. Collingwood survived an lbw appeal first ball on 65-4.
  • 15:40
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Michael Richardson has also gone lbw, this time to Magoffin, making it 13-2.
  • 15:35
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Keaton Jennings hit two fours off Lewis Hatchett's first four balls then padded up to the sixth and was lbw.
  • 15:10
    TEA - Durham v Sussex

    Sussex are all out for 211. Hatchett became Thorp's third victim, edging to second slip, and Panesar was run out for nought when called back for a second run to deep mid-wicket. Brown played extremely well in making a season's-best 76 not out
  • 14:54
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Steve Magoffin wasn't happy against the leg spin of Scott Borthwick. The ball after surviving an lbw appeal he shuffled across, looking to play to leg, and was struck bang in front. It's now 201-8 with Brown on 70.
  • 14:43
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Will Adkin, more than a foot taller than Brown at 6ft 9in, has gone for nine. He drove wide of off stump and edged Thorp to Mustard, making it 198-7. 
  • 14:16
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Two balls after reaching 50 off 59 balls Brown drove into the covers and set off for a run, only for an excellent diving stop by Michael Richardson to leave Wernars stranded. He was run out for 50 and it's 173-6
  • 14:11
    Landmark - Durham v Sussex

    Wernars brought up his own 50 and the 100 stand with Brown by turning Onions to square leg for two. Brown is stroking the ball around with impressive timing on what is probably the best Riverside pitch of the season.
  • 12:41
    LUNCH - Durham v Sussex

    Sussex are 104-5 with Wernars on 25 and Brown on 12.
  • 12:11
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    The first wicket to fall from the Finchale End has gone to Callum Thorp, although Luke Wells clearly did not agree with David Millns' decision that he had edged the away swinger to Phil Mustard. Wells trudged off for 25 with the score on 67-5.
  • 11:48
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Machan sliced Onions for four but without addition pushed forward and edged to Collingwood at first slip. That's 61-4.
  • 11:40
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    After struggling through four overs at the Finchale End, Onions has returned at the Lumley End and had Joe Gatting lbw for 14, making it 55-3. Wells is on 19 and has been joined by Matt Machan.
  • 11:06
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Rushworth is posing much more threat than Onions and has picked up his second wicket. Yardy had just edged a four just out of gully's reach when he was pinned on the crease, departing lbw for seven.
  • 10:45
    WICKET - Durham v Sussex

    Chris Nash scored seven off Graham Onions' opening over then drove at the first ball of the second over, bowled by Chris Rushworth, and edged to Paul Collingwood at first slip.
  • 10:37

    Result - Lancashire v Durham

    Well, we never got back on after tea here. Lancs took seven pts from the draw and are still very much in the soup; Durham took ten points and all their troubles seem so far away. Lancs 262 Durham 416. Nearly two days lost to rain.   
  • 15:40
    WICKET and TEA- Lancashire v Durham

    Rushworth c Prince b Croft 7 and Durham are all out for 416, a lead of 154. Lancs have 32 overs to bat out. Croft finished with 3-33 off 8.2 overs.  
  • 15:29
    WICKET - Lancashire v Durham

    Thorp bowled for 25 aiming a mighty heave at Croft and Durham are 408-9, a lead of 146
  • 14:14
    Lancashire v Durham

    Oh yeah, the score is 333 for six in the 104th over, Collingwood 91, Borthwick 47.   
  • 14:11
    Lancashire v Durham

    Durham grind towards 350 and Lancashire's fielding is ragged. Borthwick was dropped by Hogg (a tough chance, running back from m-wkt) on 41 and Collingwood was spilled on 75 by Prince at mid on (a complete lollipop) both off Kerrigan.   
  • 13:03
    LUNCH - Lancashire v Durham

    Durham 291-6 at lunch, Collingwood 63, Borthwick 34. Kerrigan's taken four for 75. Barring Scarboroughesque contortions this game will be drawn.   
  • 12:47
    Landmark - Lancashire v Durham

    Despite surviving one or two alarms - Collingwood dropped by Chapple at mid on off Kerrigan when 45 - Durham have progressed to 284 for 6 and a first innings lead. Collingwood is 60 and Borthwick 30; the standard of cricket is remarkably high  
  • 12:15
    Lancashire v Durham

    Consolidation has been provided for Durham in the predictable shape of Paul Collingwood, who is 45 not out. Kerrigan and Croft are operating in tandem at the moment. Lancashire are in search of a third bowling bonus point. Durham 254-6.   
  • 11:33
    WICKETS - Lancashire v Durham

    Two early wickets here for Kerrigan, who is bowling beautifully from the River End. Richardson was well taken at 2nd slip by Smith for 41 and Mustard was caught round the corner by Prince for five. Durham are 207-6.
  • Thursday 30/08/2012
  • 17:33
    WICKET - Lancashire v Durham

    Ben Stokes caught at short midwicket by Prince off Keedy for four. Rather a rush of blood, it alters the balance of the match. Durham 146 for 3. Wickets in successive overs for Keedy.
