Durham v Lancashire - County Championship Division One - Day 2 – Live Score and Update
Durham 102 & 0/0 (0.3 ov) v Lancashire 170 - Durham trail by 68 runs with 10 wickets remaining
On the second day of the four-day match between Durham and Lancashire, Durham trail by 68 runs with ten wickets in hand in their second innings at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street.
Durham opening batsmen WR http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 and MD Stoneman could face only three deliveries before the day was called off due to heavy showers, giving their side an opportunity to come out with fresh legs on the third day to overcome Lancashire’s first innings total of 170 runs and build a solid lead over their rivals by clobbering a huge total on the board.
Had rain not interrupted play, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782 might have been able to give a daunting batting performance and make their fans forget their unimpressive first innings batting debacle, where the batsmen seemed out of ideas and threw away their wickets without putting up much of a fight as they could muster only 102 runs.
Meanwhile, the day began with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806 resuming their first innings from 141 runs for the loss of eight wickets with PJ Horton on 31 and KW Hogg on 23.
Both batsmen were the last ray of hope for their team and vital in their conquest to bolster an intimidating first innings score.
However, after adding just ten runs to his overnight score, Hogg became the first casualty of the day on losing his wicket to SJ Harmison at a time when Lancashire had staggered a total of 155 runs on the board.
Opener, Horton was then joined by SC Kerrigan in a bid to bolster a few more runs before the demise of their innings.
While Horton tried to face maximum deliveries in order to keep the scoreboard ticking, it was vital for Kerrigan to keep the deliveries away from his stumps in order to prolong the innings.
Nonetheless, 29-year-old, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449, who had been a fearsome force on the first day, managed complete his five-wicket haul by dismissing Kerrigan on nil, bringing an end to Lancashire’s innings on 170 runs with Horton unbeaten on 49 runs.
