Briggs Dominates As Durham Struggle
At Headingly
The pre-match build up to this game saw the pitch lamented as a bowlers pitch, and Yorkshire showed why as they bowled Durham out for only 129 in their first innings, leaving them a comfortable lead of 145 going into their second innings. Shaun Briggs took full advantage of the pitch and conditions as he finished with figures of 5 for 37 as Durham really struggled to cope with the bounce and pace of the pitch. Most of the Durham top order got starts but none could go on to get a score which Durham needed, Nicky Peng top scored with 24, something which says a lot about their innings. Along with Briggs, there were also wickets for Harvey(2), Hoggard and Dawson(1), and Yorkshire will now look to bat Durham out of the game.
From Briggs View
Despite a poor start to his bowling, Briggs got used to the conditions and exploited them fully as the innings went on. Going for 16 runs in his first 3 overs, Briggs was being hit to all parts as the Durham bowlers picked up on his full pitched bowling, but it was only when Briggs started to test the batsmen with some short stuff that the wickets began to come. The batsmen could not pick up the low bounce despite the ball being hammered in short and Briggs profitied. He will go into the second innings on a hat-trick as his final two wickets came from consecutive deliveries.
Shaun Briggs 13.5-3-37-5
1st Spell
1st Over: Briggs bowls a no ball in his first over of the game
2nd Over: 2 singles from the over
3rd Over: Briggs bowls another no ball and is made to pay when the extra ball is hammered away to the boundary by Benkenstein
4th Over: WICKET! Finally some success for Briggs as Benkenstein hits one straight in the air which Briggs takes easily for a caught and bowled
5th Over: Joy soon turns to despair as Muchall is dropped by wicket keeper Guy
6th Over: Peng hammers Briggs away to the boundary for 4
7th Over: A single picked up from the final over of Briggs' first spell
End Of Spell 7-0-26-1
2nd Spell
8th Over: WICKET!An eventful comeback over for Briggs as he bowls another no ball, is hit away by Mustard for 4 and then gets the wicket of Breese from what would be the extra delivery thanks to a fantastic catch by Harvey at slip
9th Over: Briggs bowls his first maiden over of the innings
10th Over: Consecutive maidens from Briggs
11th Over: Noffke is dropped by McGrath and to make up for it he later hammers Briggs away for 4 runs
12th Over: WICKET! More success for Briggs as he gets his revenge on Noffke who is caught mistiming a hook shot, next ball Davies is dropped at slip by Wood
13th Over: Maiden over from Briggs
14th Over: WICKETS! Briggs wraps up the Durham innings with 2 in 2 balls as first Davies is out caught at slip and then very next ball Neil Killeen is caught at slip too
Briggs comes into the attack with Yorkshire needing a wicket after the early breakthrough
Benkenstein is that wicket as he offers a simple caught and bowled chance for Briggs who obliges
Anger for Briggs as Muchall is dropped by wicketkeeper Guy
Stunning catch from Harvey to get rid of Breese
Noffke is next, mistiming a hook shot
Davies offers little resistance edging straight to Jaques at slip
Killeen is Briggs 5th victim edging one to Kruis at gully to wrap up the Durham innings

Durham Fightback But Yorkshire In Command
At Headingly
A spirited bowling performance from Durham saw them bowl Yorkshire out yet again for less than 300 as Yorkshire reached 285 in their second innings, meaning Durham need to either bat out the rest of today and tomorrow, or chase 431 to win, something which is possible considering the time left in the game. It was the swing bowlers that had the most effect in the innings as Benkenstein picked up 3 wickets, despite being expensive, while Davies also bagged a couple, there were also wickets for the other bowlers used too, but Yorkshire look to be now safe from defeat anyway and will now look to push on for the victory. Shaun Briggs top scored yet again, but their were also some good contributions from Anthony McGrath and Phil Jaques along the way to further add to Durham's misery. Durham may regret not bowling the tail out sooner as the last 2 wickets cost them over 40 runs, and with the likes of Hoggard, Kruis, Harvey and Briggs to come and bowl, its not looking good for the men from the North-East.
From Briggs View
Briggs came to the crease with Yorkshire 199 runs ahead, when he left they were well in excess of a 300 run lead, showing how important it was for Yorkshire that he stayed at the crease for as long as possible. His 67 was more of a patient innings, very rarely lashing out or going for the big shots, Briggs was happier to let his partners go for the big ones as he looked to bat for as long as possible to increase his teams lead. Briggs will be yet again dissapointed in the manor he got out though, clipping a ball of his pads straight to Noffke who took a fine diving catch, but like the first innings, Briggs will have to come out head held high, and we all know from the Durham first innings what Briggs can do after being dismissed on his way to a century.
Briggs came to the crease with Yorkshire needing runs
Was it out? The umpire didnt think so
Briggs went on to score his second 50 of the match
But, Briggs is left dissapointed again as he is dismissed by a soft ball
