Winter well everybody. We're done and dusted at OT and that's a wrap for the 2026 County Championship. #BBCcricket

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I 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

They 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

We 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

Right, 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

There's a slight delay at OT because of rain. Play will ger underway at 10.45am with four overs lost. #BBCCricket

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

And 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

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

That'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 · 26/09/2026

Ironic 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 · 26/09/2026

It'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 · 26/09/2026

Matty 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 · 26/09/2026

Hurst 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 · 26/09/2026

The 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 · 26/09/2026

Bohannon 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 · 26/09/2026

Flintoff 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 · 26/09/2026

That'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

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Jennings 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

It'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 · 25/09/2026

Day 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 · 25/09/2026

Off 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 · 25/09/2026

That'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 · 25/09/2026

Not 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 · 25/09/2026

Bit 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 · 25/09/2026

Ollie 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

That'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 · 24/09/2026

Durham 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 · 24/09/2026

Agarwal 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 · 24/09/2026

That'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 · 24/09/2026

Agarwal 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

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

McKinney chases a widish ball from Bailey and is caught behind on 71. He put on 114 with Gay, who has 46. Durham are 124-2 v Lancashire. #BBCCricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Lunch on day one and Durham are 112-1 v Lancs. McKinney has 64 and Gay 41. Partnership 102. Because of the ball changes and other endless delays only 26 overs have been bowled of the 32 which should have been in the session. #BBCCricket

It's day one of Lancashire v Durham at OT. It's Durham's first visit here in the championship since a one wicket defeat in 2014! Here's the preview. #BBCcricket

That's it from me in CLS this season as Durham draw with Worcestershire in their final home game. #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Early tea at 2.40pm and further inspection at 3pm. Small band of rain around then. #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Play resumed after lunch in really gloomy conditions and then three balls into Stokes' first over of the day the players walked off again. Even with the lights on the light meter says they are about 100 lux below what is normally considered safe. #BBCCricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

That's lunch on the final day and Worcestershire are 31-1 and need another 222 to beat Durham. Libby is the man out, bowled by Raine for 10. 69 overs left in the day. #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Potts is bowled by Singh for 35, but more importantly he added 48 for the final wicket with Parkinson, who finishes on 16 not out. Durham are all out for 235 and Worcestershire need 253 to win! That's a big total on this track. #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Excellent final stand from Potts and Parkinson. They have added 44 so far. Durham are now 231-9 and lead Worcestershire by 248. Potts has 35 of them. #BBCCricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's hard to keep up this morning. Durham have lost Robinson for 22, Raine for four and Aldridge for 34. He's just been bowled by Taylor. They are now 191-9 and lead Worcestershire by 208. The pitch is doing quite a bit. I have this one finishing about 2pm to 2.30pm. #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Robinson and Aldridge bring up the 50 partnership then moments later Robinson goes LBW to Allison for 22. Durham are 169-7 and lead Worcestershire by 186. I think anything upwards of 200 might be too much here! #BBCcricket

Day three of Durham v Worcestershire suddenly had a few unexpected plot twists! We could be in for an exciting finale tomorrow, when for much of the day, the game looked like being a draw. How many times does that happen? #BBCcricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Stokes tries to smash O'Connor and instead guides the ball straight down to deep point and is caught by Lategan for 12. Not the shot to play in the circumstances and with bad light possibly set to end proceedings soon too. Durham are 119-6 and only lead by 136. #BBCCricket

000

martycricket.bsky.social @martycricket.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Another batsman bowled. Another off stump gone. That's four out of five wickets so far. Rhodes was on 25 when Taylor got him. Durham are 114-5 and only lead Worcestershire by 131. We will have a run chase tomorrow after all. Game suddenly rattling along. #BBCCricket
