In Play
Durham won the toss and decided to field

Essex Innings
71 all out (22.1 overs)

Durham Innings
21 for 4 (5.5 overs)

Not sure but I think Sky might be covering it live, surely this would be a record for a team to win defending a mere 71 runs???

 

[B Cantona]

38/7 now

Yeah, i saw this on SSN. Crazy stuff! Wish they were showing it live instead of Hampshire vs Warwickshire. Durham going to win though 67-7

 

[DanNistelrooy]

O game over. Durham win by 3 wickets. Plunkett guides Durham home

 

[B Cantona]

Did more than guide, top scored in the game with 30 runs, and took 4/15 himself when bowling

Presumably the game was played on a gravel pit

Well it looks like Warwickshire could be joining Durham in the final as they're looking very comfortable chasing Hampshire's 207
