martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Durham are looking for a new head coach. After leading the team to promotion Ryan Campbell will now move upstairs to become Director of Cricket, overseeing all teams at the club. He replaces Marcus North who took up a role with England earlier in the year. 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 28/09/2026It's a beautiful day on the Roker Riviera. Warm and sunny. It's a bat first kind of day. Oh.......That's a pity. What's everyone doing today now the season is over? 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026The M60 must have been a problem today. Satnav took me from Old Trafford towards City's ground then out through Moston and Rochdale. Passed FC United's ground as well. 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Winter well everybody. We're done and dusted at OT and that's a wrap for the 2026 County Championship. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think we may have seen our final ball of the season. It's gloomy in Manchester and rain is due here in the next half hour or so. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026They have gone off for bad light at OT so the umpires have decided to call tea. Lancashire are 397-6 v Durham. It's their highest total of the season. Bohannon has 190 from 384 balls. Balderson is on 29. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026We have a wicket. Walkden looked to pull the ball through the leg side and edged Parkinson to Carse at backward point on 36. He added 82 with Bohannon, who has 158. Lancashire are 331-6 and trail Durham by 162. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Right, it's sunny now at OT so play is about to resume after the early lunch, with another five overs lost to bad light and rain. Lancashire resume their first innings on 295-5 v Durham. #BBCcricket 000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026And so, after six months we have reached this, the final day of the County Championship season. Division Two title winners finish the campaign at OT, but the weather may yet have a final say. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That's day three done and dusted at OT. It's been a long one but Josh Bohannon has provided real resistance for the hosts. Here's the story of the day. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Ironic applause ring out around Old Trafford as Lancashire record their first batting point - since May! They are now 252-5 and trail Durham by 241 with nine overs left of day three. Bohannon has 118. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's taken 57 overs but Durham have eventually broken the partnership between Hurst and Bohannon. Parkinson has just bowled Hurst for 57. Ball pitched on the leg side and took off stump! The partnership ends at 161. Lancashire are 248-5 and trail by 245. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Bohannon survives a massive shout for LBW as Parkinson returns to the Durham attack. Looked absolutely bang on to me. Parkinson couldn't believe it wasn't given. He was on 96 at the time. Moments later he clipped Aldridge for four to reach 100 in 217 balls and 7x4s. Lancs 226-4 v Durham. -267. 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Matty Potts is not playing in this match but finishes the season as the leading wicket-taker in Division Two with 60 dismissals. Ryan Higgins of Middlesex, Ben Aitchison of Derbyshire and Ben Sanderson of Northants finish on 58. Their games have all come to a conclusion today. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Hurst reaches 2,000 FC runs and Lancashire are now 202-4 v Durham. He has 43 and Bohannon 85. The partnership is 116. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The final session of day three has begun with 36 overs left in the day and Lancashire 165-4. They trail Durham by 328 and the game is going absolutely nowhere at the moment, not least because of the resistance of Bohannon and Hurst, who have put on 80 so far, in 202 balls. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Bohannon brings up his 50 in 132 balls and the knock includes only 3x4. He's also put on a 50 stand with Hurst, who has 16. It's his first 50 in 18 innings. Lancashire are 137-4 and trail Durham by 356. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Flintoff is plumb LBW to Carse on 11 but umpire Redfern signals a no ball. Carse gets him LBW with the next delivery anyway. Both were as plumb as a row of plum trees in Evesham. Lancashire are 87-4 and trail Durham by 406. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That's lunch on day three and Lancashire are 76-3 and trail Durham by 417. Bohannon has 20 and Flintoff, who is being watched by dad Andrew, has four. 41 overs of the innings have gone so far. There are 72 still scheduled today. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Jennings sweeps Parkinson to deep square leg and is caught by Ghafari on the boundary on 17. Lancashire are 40-1 and trail Durham by 453. #BBCCricket 000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It's a gorgeous morning at OT for day three of Lancashire v Durham. 104 overs today too. Here's the preview. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Hearing a rumour Man City will be relegated with a 48 point deduction next season. Meanwhile Hampshire stay up. Again! Or am I in a fever dream? Can't work it out anymore. It's been a strange day. 000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Day two of Lancashire v Durham turned out to be shorter than planned because of the elements, with 35 overs lost. Here's what happened. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Off for bad light at 4.20pm. It's got gloomy again and even though there are 26 overs left today, I am not sure we will see many of those. Lancashire are 10-0 after nine overs against Durham. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That's tea. Durham were bowled out earlier for 493 and after five overs Lancashire are 2-0. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Not sure why Durham are still batting, but Carse has reached his 50. Comes in 114 balls, 3x6 and 1x4. Durham are 486-9 against Lancashire. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Play has resumed at 2pm and Durham are still batting. They are 435-8 and there are no more bonus points to be had from this innings.@martycricket.bsky.social@martycricket.bsky.socialBit of a delay to the start of the afternoon. We have had drizzle during the lunch break so the hover cover has been in position. It's just been removed. Light remains an issue though. #BBCcricket 000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Noman Ali has a five for. He's taken three wickets today. Robinson (58), Aldridge (24) and Parkinson (6) were all LBW. He's taken 5-136. At lunch Durham are 435-8 v Lancashire. #BBCCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Ollie Robinson reaches 50 for the second game in a row. This one comes in 72 balls and includes 6x4s. He and Kasey Aldridge have also put on 74 so far. Durham are 380-5 v Lancashire. #BBCcricket 000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's the close of play on day one of Lancashire v Durham at OT. It's been a good day for the visitors who have three bonus points so far. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Durham reach 350-5 in the peniltimate over of day one at Old Trafford. They have three bonus points from the game so far and a club record 248 for the season. #BBCCricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Lancashire have decided not to take the new ball, a decision which has seen Ali take wickets in each of his two overs after it. Ackermann is given out caught behind for six and looks rather stunned by the decision. Agarwal then slices him to Bohannon in the covers on 66. Durham 306-5. Gay made 141. 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Agarwal dropped at long on by Balderson off Ali on 58. Durham are 290-2 against Lancashire. Their batting point has taken them to 246 for the season - their best so far, beating the 245.5 in their title winning season of 2013. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Ball change number five. AT least this one lasted 52 overs. It will be changed for the first new ball (or second - given the first ball lasted three deliveries) in eight overs time. Ball 1 = 3 deliveries Ball 2 = 3.3 overs. Ball 3 = 20 overs. Ball 4 = 52 overs - and will be replaced in eight! 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That's tea and Durham are 247-2 against Lancashire - and three runs away from the moment which will make it their most successful season in terms of points gained. Agarwal has 50 and Gay 123. Partnership is 123. #BBCcricket 000
martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Agarwal and Gay put on 100 runs in 166 balls. Durham now 229-2 v Lancashire. Gay reaches 100 in 156 balls, with his 14th four. It's his fourth of the season for the club and his 8th in all for them. HIs 14th century in all. #BBCcricket 000
