Yvette, I seem to have somehow been put on the full website on my phone and can't find the mobile button...... Where is it?? *embarrassed* !
brandonia
No ball - we'll take that!
brandonia

brandonia
Four down to Fine Leg for DB.
brandonia
I'd love to see these two survive until the Close. Ten overs left, even of they only score 10 more runs I'd be happy. One thing I must add is I do not want a night-watchman in!

brandonia
Colly just survived a massive lbw shout.
brandonia
Four for Benk, great shot off the back foot. 74-4.
brandonia
Edge through the slips for 4. Sounds very tricky out there.
brandonia
You really couldn't make up just how difficult batting has been at Durham this season. I'm still hopeful of us getting to 200 like but maybe I should be thankful of 150 looking at the current game situation.
marchy22
This is where we need Blackwell
raydetmold
right lets dig in now , lets occupy the crease for the next 10 overs , not even attempt to score any runs and then get out , brainless cricket in low scoring games
marchy22
The batters backing up the Bowlers good work again I see. Pathetic
Wicket...
Stokes is caught off Linley for 6. Durham 58-4 in the 26th over.
5:13pm
BrianT
Do runouts count towards the total wickets when the pitch inspector may be called?
raydetmold
just seen young Jennings is South african , captained there under 19 side in England last year
brandonia
Shhhhhhhh. I'll be happier when they're both on unbeaten 50's!
brandonia
Shhhhhhhh. I'll be happier when they're both on unbeaten 50's!
Direct hit
Durham 56-3 after a direct hit sees Jennings run out on 23.
5:01pm
safcluke
Add Singh into that aswell Stuart.
raydetmold
good lad young Jennings , 2 4s in one over , keep it going
stuartp
2 young lads 20 and 21 years old respectively. The future of the Durham batting line up is looking good.
Durham 50
Fifty up for Durham! Stokes is 4* and Jennings 19*...
4:54pm
Stan Drop
Durham's bright hopes for the future at the crease. Dig in lads.
raydetmold
come on Durham this would be a massive win
safcluke
Just need to dig in and try and get to the close no more than 4 down. Still loads of time left.
Latest
Durham 41-2 after 16 overs, Stokes 2* and Jennings 12*. Lewis and de Bruyn are the bowlers.
4:40pm
brandonia
Looks like yet another low scoring game. Any lead could be crucial but we must still strive for batting bonus points! Can anyone at the game give me hope that it's a flat track and we just bowled like Trojans?!!
raydetmold
just a matter of time , jesus christ
Wicket...
Durham 37-2 after Smith is caught by Roy off de Bruyn for 15. Ben Stokes joins Jennings (12*).
4:29pm
We're back!
We're back after the break - - Jennings up to double figures. Durham 37-1.
4:24pm
raydetmold
11 runs off the last 10 overs pressure building all the time , lets stay positive for god sake
Stan Drop
That's better!
bryn
happy bday dean x
Tea Time
Tea time here - Durham 32-1, Smith 15* and Jennings
4:02pm
Stan Drop
three and a half consecutive maidens. Run rate slowing, but better that than losing wickets. What is the sign for Yvette?
Stan Drop
BBC weather reckons fine and dry for the whole match! That's a first this season! Let's make the most of it.
chrissafc
heavy rain down here in boro, hope it's not moving towards cls
Latest
Durham 30-1 after 9 overs, Smith 14* and Jennings 9*. Dernbach and Linley are the current attack.
3:44pm
BrianT
If you discount the Oval match where nobody bowled a ball, we have maximum bowling points. An area where the rules might be looked at!
raydetmold
takes me back to Gower at edgebaston on his debut for England , off the mark first ball with a 4
Four!
Jennings is off the mark with a four!
3:18pm
safcluke
Hope Jennings scores some runs.
Wicket...
Durham 10-1, Stoneman is caught by Ansari off Dernbach for 6. Keaton Jennings joins Smith (4*).
3:17pm
Stan Drop
What did I do?
chrissafc
really hope jennings gets a big score
Ridgeley
Bugger
Stan Drop
Come on Durham, no more groundhog day please. max batting points to go with our max bowling points would be great. BTW, despite propping up the table, only one county (Warks) has more bowling points than us. A tribute to our attack given the rubbish weather we've had.
Ridgeley
Liquid cricket!
chrissafc
he'd be one of the first names on my team sheet at present
BrianT
Of course he did well in that game, and in every other game I've seen him play.
chrissafc
30 runs and 6 catches.
chrissafc
the circumstances we find ourselves in is down to the regular players. richardson performed very well in a game we won vs middlesex
BrianT
I don't think he should be in the team before Mustard, in the circumstances we find ourselves in. And why just praise the bowlers, there were catches and a run out.
marchy22
So u think Richardson shouldn't be in the team Brian. Andc its been a brilliant display by the Bowlers AGAIN
Durham innings
The Durham innings begins! Will Smith and Mark Stoneman are out there...Dernbach to bowl.
3:08pm
BrianT
On a day when the team have done better than on any other opening day this season it surprises me that players not in the team are being mentioned so frequently instead of players that are in the team.
chrissafc
agree. he'll be off
marchy22
I can't see us hanging on to him. I don't see what mustard has done this season to earn an instant recall
chrissafc
agreed marchy, treatment of that lad is shocking
marchy22
I have to say Richardson being dropped is a disgrace
chrissafc
It was excellent to have Rory Hamilton-Brown back in the team for our most recent CB40 game but he is not quite ready yet for Championship cricket. He will play for the Second XI and continue to train this week ahead of our next CB40 game against Durham on Saturday.â€
peter_brent
Think RHB is playing in a 2nd XI game.
safcluke
Where's RHB? I thought he was back in the picture now?
chrissafc
good effort by the bowlers. crazy decision to bat first
raydetmold
fantastic , come on the batsman dont let us down again , play positive from the start
marchy22
Let's be 150-3 at the close
BrianT
Can't believe they decided to bat. Do they never read the papers? Brilliant performance.
All out!
Surrey all out for 129 as Stokes dismisses Linley for 4.
2:58pm
CollingwoodFTM
Polish 'em off lads.
Wicket!
That's nine down! Thorp gets in on the act now, Lewis is caught by Borthwick for 23. Surrey 117-9.
2:51pm
chrissafc
he'd replace broad if you believe some on here the other day who were saying broad isnt good enough
marchy22
Nine down
safcluke
Swann will be back in so you would think Finn will sit it out. Absolutely no point of Onions going down to Lords when we have a big game.
peter_brent
That is the issue he won't be in the test team but he will be in the squad. Playing neither for Durham or England next week.
safcluke
Shouldn't be in the test team at the moment should I say before I get slammed.
safcluke
Onions shouldn't be in the test team. As much as he's a cracking bowler, who does he replace?
Eight down!
Ben Stokes calims his third wicket! Batty is caught by Thorp on 11. Surrey 117-8.
2:41pm
Bowling change
An immediate change at the Finchale End too, Ben Stokes returns.
2:38pm
BrianT
I would like the tail to score a moderate number of runs because it might inducate that the pitch is getting easier for us to bat on. Wouldn't that be a nice change?
marchy22
Letting the tail wag. Come on
Bowling change
A return for Callum Thorp for the 44th over. Surrey 109-7
2:35pm
Surrey 100
Hundred up for Surrey, Lewis 12* and Batty 6*.
2:29pm
peter_brent
KP says it's not about money. Reckon that's right it's about his ego.
chrissafc
he's a joke KP
Stan Drop
He'll be needed to bat imstead of KP ;-)))
peter_brent
I would like to thank the ECB for selecting the Lions team without any Durham players and whilst I am on he subject don't pick Onions in the next test squad if you have no intentions of playing him.
CollingwoodFTM
Keep going lads.
marchy22
Let's hope our batsmen shine and we may only need to bat once in this match
chrissafc
what a strange decision to bat first on that wicket
Response to marchy22
Yes, I do - sorry!
2:07pm
marchy22
You mean 7 yvette?

That's a wicket for Onions! Spriegel is caught behind on 1. Surrey 80-6!
2:00pm
Stan Drop
Gold and bronze for the Brownlee brothers in Olympic triathlon. I wonder if they can bat as well?
Stan Drop
Wooo Hooo! Shows the morale boost that beating Aussies can give!
Surrey 65/5
Spriegel the new man in, 67/5. Chris Rushworth continues.
1:43pm
Bowled him!

chrissafc
great start by the way, good luck to jennings, finally glad to see a long overdue change at number 3
chrissafc

BrianT
Well done to the players who are out there. Support the team.
Ridgeley

raydetmold

Wicket!

12:29pm
bryn
No,just fake ones :-)
CollingwoodFTM
Keep going lads. A quick question, is there a real tent at the Riverside these days? I might pop along in a fortnight when I am back up. But it'll probably rain, as usual.
dalesgirl
Ridgely how do you know what my t shirt says ?
raydetmold
A very good morning everybody from a sunny Germany
Wicket!
Surrey 41-2 after Stokes bowls Burns on 14!
12:21pm

it's a disgrace richardson has been dropped. disgusting
Latest
Surrey 35-1 after 18 overs, Burns 10* and Harinath 15*

Tom87
I find it absolutely astounding that Blackie isn’t playing, we need our best players playing the position we are in. What does everyone think of the latest Pietersen fiasco?
Ridgeley
Id of played blacky.
Stan Drop
Bryn, given our relative disarray at the moment I would say that it is as important to "blood" some of the talent from 2nd XI and see what they can do with a view to the medium term future. Good luck to Jennings. James taylor had a good Test dayboo.
Ridgeley
Cans of stella not a lass called stella obv

In the words of dalesgirls tshirt cricket is life :) just arrived at the ground with me stella!

Mackem_Dave
Good luck to the young lad Keaton Jennings on his debut. I dont watch the 2nd's so I don't know what his style is or what his stats are. Can anyone help out?
bryn
id have played him instead of jennings and moved everyone up a notch we need his experience at this point of season imo
safcluke
Surprised Ansari opened the batting but no complaints. Harinath is a sound player too.
Response to Stan Drop
Apologies, we have an issue with the SMS feature so had to leave it off so the technical people coudl investigate. SMS has been disabled for the time being to allow for LMC to open
11:25am
Stan Drop
Cool typing too!
Stan Drop
Great start. Perhaps bryn, he had a very good game against the Aussies but who would you have left out for him? He perhapos has a bit more grounfd tocatch up before he becomes an automatic choice again.
Wicket!
Rushworth gets the first wicket! Ansari is caught behind on 1. Surrey 6-1 after 5.3 overs.
11:20am
Stan Drop
Hi Yvette. A bit unfair to open LMC early then disable it so us early birds (and time travellers, but I think that raydetmold and I are the only ones) cant post early.
Update
Surrey 6-0 after 4.3 overs, two maidens for Onions and one for Rushworth.
11:16am
bryn
got to feel for blackie :-(
After 2 overs
