We lost the toss and Durham elected to bat on a cloudy day.
we got Lewis pretty soon but daley and thorpe stayed in for to long.
we speaded up and took wickets of the 2 centurions, speak resisted our bowling attack but couldnt stay long enough, good bowling from Razzaq and Laraman. and Economic bowling of Weekes.
it was a very rainy day and we had alot of interuptions 3h and 51m.
We started batting and most of the players got into duble figers..2 of em in 3 digits..wonderfull double century from Brown and a very good century from Razzaq i was happy to c we can bat
and with some upspeading we endend on day 3.2 at 442 runs not bad..but i saw a draw coming.
we couldnt i tried to bowl them out soon but they decided with less than 1 session remaining to declare, i had nothing to lose so tried to smack..cost me 3 wickets..but than we were done..very happy with batting in 1st innings..bowling has prospect..glad to c that Laraman is bowling well.
