With Leicestershire scoring 356 the match seemed perfectly poised and at one moment in the match it seemed the match was going to be almost level going into Leicestershire 2nd innings. However the tailenders of Durham made sure this wasn't the case. M.Davies batting at 11 put on 44 with P.Mustard 31, together these two batsmen put on a 50 partnership which then ensured them an extra batting point.
Durham got of to a flying start with M.Hussey 53 soon reachingt his fifty before hooking the ball down to deep square leg. However P.Collingwood 115, G.Muchall 59, N.Peng 82 all ensure they achieved Leicestershire total.

P.Defreitas starred for Leicestershire taking 7 for 49 with most being bowled or LBW. However like the rest of the bolwers they couldn't remove the Durahm lower order. Currently the points are 7 for Leicestershire and 8 for Durham suggesting a eveningly poised match.
Well with 1 1/2 days remaining it will be interesting to see how long Leicestershire will bat for but it seems like there are going to be some quick batting since theres not much time left in the game.
 
Yes Leicestershire will have be in one day mode since very less time is left for them to force a result. But first they must not to do anything foolish and get to 300 first.

Good bowling by DeFreitas, 7-49 are amazing bowling figures. He probably should have bowled more number of overs.

Good innings by Collingwood as well, should give his England test hopes a good boost.

Leicestershire got of to a poor start losing D.Maddy however, huge partnership between A.Habib and D.Robinson ensure that Durahm would be chasing a total. However with just under a 200 lead Leicestershire lost wickets leaving it down to the vastly expierenced P.Nixon and P.Defreitas.

P.Nixon smashed (Above) reached a fifty in very little balls faced which ensure a 300 lead achieved just after Lunch on day 4. Soon Leicestershire lost P.Nixon howver the terrific Derfeitas smashed his wasy to 70 leaving Leicestershire with 311 runs ahead.

Leicestershire set a demanding 311 for Durham to win however it was soon evident that they were not playing for the win. P.Defreitas stunned Durahm taking 2 quicket wickets leaving them 8-2.However some clever batting form G.Muchall (78) and P.Collingwood (33) brought them up to 84-2. However collingwood fell victim to Hnederson when he tried to smahs him out the ground getting himself caught out.
