I think Jennings played under 19s for south Africa but has decided he wants to try and play for England
BrianT
Pleased for Blackwell. Everyone's a winner in his case. Am on hols in Yorkshire Dales. V wet and thundery. Keep scores rolling in please. There Thurs and Fri if its still going

Blackie doing well 13-3-39-3

peter_brent
Thanks.
Response to peter_brent
He's not overseas. His mum is from Sunderland.
3:53pm
peter_brent
what is Jennings status, is he an overseas player ? I read somewhere his Dad was from Sunderland. Anyone know ?
keenasmustard
Would cut a fair chunk out of the wage bill too.
keenasmustard
I wouldn't be sorry if those three weren't here next season. They've been good to the club but now the time has come to move on.
Durham 50
Durham reach fifty, Jennings 19* and Stokes 23*
3:37pm
peter_brent
It's difficult to see Harmison,Plunkett & Blackie at Durham next season. Possibly Plunkett may be kept as a one day player. But time to move on players who have hardly featured in the CC for two years.
Noz
Blackie 9-1-30-2
keenasmustard
A few of the Worcs players should have changed their bats.
Latest
The ball is being changed after Worcs have a few discussions with the umpires.
3:31pm
Noz
They've moaned long enough to get the ball changed now. It was only 17 overs old and they've been seeking a new one for the last half an hour or so
Update
Durham 42-2 after 17 overs....

gilly92
blackwell has just taken a wicket for Warks. I still reckon he's too good a player to let go on loan
keenasmustard
128/12 so far today.
Noz
Awful shot!!
Two down...
Durham 8-2 after Smith is caught off Russell for 3. Stokes joins Jennings.
2:45pm
IAIN6W
Plunkett had an achilles problem.
safcluke
Does anyone know who is out of contract at the end of the season?
peter_brent
Plunkett was quoted as recovering from an injury in the recent report on his court case. .."Plunkett is recovering from an Achilles injury which prevents him from playing"
keenasmustard
Went on loan after being left out of the side v Surrey. Plunkett is not injured to my knowledge.
Update
Durham 7-1 after 6 overs, Jennings 5* and Smith 2*
2:37pm
christoff
Have we loaned him out to Warwickshire? Also is Plunkett injured not in 2nds?
keenasmustard
Blackie's currently bowling in the Warwickshire game.

Who is Ingram? Not noticed his name before
Durham innings
The Durham innings begins - Mark Stoneman and Will Smith at the crease
2:12pm

Excellent work by the bowlers, looks like its going to be hard work for our batsmen though. I'd snap your hand off for 250 now.

Haway lads, let get them out asap, no annoying little stands please.
Wicket!
Worcs 92-8, Andrew is the man out.
1:50pm
peter_brent
Wicket ? BBC have them eight down now.
safcluke
do we vote for "young" player of the year? if so give that to Stoneman then.
christoff
Onions for me too. Stoneman and Rushworth should als both be congratulated for making big improvements in what has been a difficult season.
safcluke
Pitch inspector been on the wicket during lunch, ok with it for now but monitoring it.
brandonia
Can't see past Onions IMO.
safcluke
Must be time of the year for play of the season votes. Mine goes to Stoneman.
Lunch
Lunch here - Worcester 85-7, Scott 1* and Andrew 16*.

What's the weather like there? Raining, well spitting, in Newcastle.
Tristan
in the context of the game, this could be a winning contribution already :/
brandonia
This partnership is killing us. I can see Pardoe making big runs.
Tristan
this partnership is beginning to be a thorn in our side
Bowling change
Callum Thorp comes onto bowl the 16th over and then Ben Stokes enters into the acrion for the 17th over.
12:10pm
parky
Found it event 12 last on the list
brandonia
Anyone know the Live Event Number on TuneIn?
Mark
They'll be all out before I get there at this rate. Must be another very tricky pitch to bat on, if it is a score of around 130 might be competitive! So let's finish them off quickly.
Tristan
haha cheers brent. called the first wicket taker and predicted the over... just didnt realise there would be 4 more wickets before it!!
Tynevalleyblackcat
This is getting stupid now.
Five down!
Worcs five down! Pinner is bowled by Rushworth.
11:44am
brandonia
Cheers Tristy, it's that bacon and egg I had man. Got me fired right up.
peter_brent
Tristan you got your wicket in the 10th over.
Tynevalleyblackcat
They could be out by lunch at this rate!!
Tristan
brandy you are on fire today!
Four down!
Solanki is bowled by Rushworth. Worcs 26-4 after 9.4 overs!
11:41am

Fantastic. Bonus point inside 36 minutes!!

parky
Anyone know the BBC Live event number for smart phone streaming?
Tristan
i think mitch may end up being more of a one day player
Tristan
claydon & brathwaite will be in teh reckoning anarl
safcluke
Where does Mitch fit in then?
Tristan
looks likely dave, though don't forget harrison.
safcluke
Yvette - completely random question but do you know who the Worcester 12th man is today?
Mackem_Dave
Difficult decision on team selection. Hard on Wood but Onions is a no brainer, Thorp has 33 FC wkts at 19.58 and Rushy 26 at 16. Probably the right choice. Wood in for Thorp next season?
Mark
Big wicket, good start. On my way down shortly, be nice to have another couple before I set off!
Tynevalleyblackcat
Well there's the two early wickets I asked for. Lets have some more though.
Two down!
Hughes is caught by Stokes off Onions for 4. Worcs 19-2 after 6.1 overs!
11:24am
Tristan
Good work brandy, that one was for you :)
Tynevalleyblackcat
Great start. They cannot be confident, so get among them early and put them on the back foot from the off.
safcluke
Ali also.
brandonia
Need to get Hughes, he's the danger man. I can see him making big runs.
Tristan
gutted. well at least i got the bowler right!!
safcluke
great start.
keenasmustard
YAAAY!!!
Wicket!
Mitchell caught by Borthwick off Rushworth's third delivery. Worcs 9-1!
11:05am
Play begins!
Play begins - Onions opens the Durham attack.
11:02am
safcluke
Worcester top four is one of the best in the country imo. Cant believe they've left Lucas out.
Tristan
enjoy the day mbh. whilst i agree re: woody they have obviously decided experience over exuberance. thorp is still a quality player. i think we will see a lot more of woody & harrison next year, hopefully easing them in will prove to be the right method
myboyharry
Yet again Durham invite criticism by leaving Wood out. Its a shocking decision when we should be starting to see more not less of the younger lads. Worcestershire look to have named a reasonable batting lineup but other than Richardson there doesnt look to me to be much to be frightened of for our batsmen. Going down shortly.
Tristan
sweetstake on first wicket? im going rushyworth in the 10th over
safcluke
On a more random note, its a disgrace that Northants have left Luke Evans out the team this week.
safcluke
very poor that
Tristan
flying? thorp is taking wickets at the pedestrian average of 23 ;)
Tristan
top of our batting average as well as wicket taking match winner in his last outing
safcluke
Harsh on Woody but the other three quicks are flying at the moment.
Tynevalleyblackcat
A couple of early wickets to calm the nerves and then just continue the form we have shown in the last 4 longer matches.
brandonia
Got to feel sorry for Woody. What's he supposed to do to keep his place?!!
safcluke
Pleased we've stuck with Jennings.
Worcs
Worcs: Mitchell, Hughes, Ali, Solanki, Andrew, Pardoe, Scott, Pinner, Leach, Russell, Richardson
10:44am
Noz
He scored a few runs too!!
Noz
Poor that like!
Tristan
can't be many players dropped after a match winning five fer
Tristan
wood dropped for thorp? controversial decision that like
Noz
Morning all. Let's hope our good firm continues and we have a great day! If we win this match it should just about guarantee safety!?
Tristan
collingwood's first win of the toss!
Durham
Durham: Smith, Stoneman, Jennings, Stokes, Benkenstein, Collingwood, Mustard, Borthwick, Thorp, Onions, Rushworth
10:42am
Tristan
No need to argue you two.Lose the toss be put in, bowled out cheaply, take wickets, enforce follow on, win before stumps on day one. sorted
Toss result
Durham won the toss and will bowl first
10:41am
peter_brent
win the toss and bowl and then be 75-0 at the close 75 behind.
brandonia
Beautiful day. Win the toss, bat and be 350-3 at Close. Ideal! Bacon, Sausage and Egg on Brown Granary with HP Sauce for Brunch.
chrissafc
