Dogged batting display from Lancs, after a ropey start.....Durham won the toss which suggests that it might be bowler friendly, so it will be interesting how Durham fare tomorrow.
This match will be a massive indicator of Lancs' title aspirations....Just hope they avoid a heavy defeat, which could fracture the confidence that they have built up recently.....From today's performance, it at least looks like they have the stomach for a scrap.
313 in a day should be enough to get the draw, at least. To get to a winning position Durham need a good 550, which will use up the best part of 2 days.
As you say though, at 215/6 it looked like a rather low score was on, and in trouble, but showing that sort of fight to get to a respectable score bodes well.
