Day 3 v Durham LV= Emirates ICG at Chester le Street

Day three is due to start with Durham with a healthy lead and in their second innings are 6/0. Notts will be looking to avoid the number 21 perhaps (in relation to scoreboard partnerships and totals). Showers or rain are forecast for most of today.

Rain started falling at just before 11.00 at CLS.

 Michael Di Venuto, who had bruised a finger whilst fielding on Day 2 may not bat in the second innings!

Just 12.2 overs were possible over the whole day with Durham 37/2 and in a quandary - to force a positive result would mean giving Notts a reasonable chance of winning; will they play the long game or try for short term gain?
