David Bedingham made his third Championship century of the season against Lancashire and also passed 1,000 first-class runs for this campaign to help Durham take control of their match at Chester-le-Street.<\/b><\/p>\n
Having restricted Lancashire to 228 all out in their first innings, the home side were 367-4 at the close, a lead of 139, with Bedingham 177 not out and Colin Ackermann unbeaten on 111. The pair\u2019s unbroken stand of 268 has already set a new fifth-wicket record for Durham in first-class cricket.<\/p>\n
The one positive aspect of the day\u2019s play from a Lancastrian perspective was the bowling of Trinidadian Anderson Philip, who took two wickets for 86 runs on his debut. However, the visitors face a battle to avoid a third Championship defeat in succession.<\/p>\n
Lancashire\u2019s last four wickets added a further 51 runs to their overnight total. Matty Hurst was run out for 90 after a mix-up with Tom Bailey and Ben Raine took his fifth wicket of the innings when he had Phillip leg before wicket for two.<\/p>\n
Raine finished with 5-44, his best return of the season, but crucially for their hopes of staying in Division One, Lancashire failed to earn a batting bonus point for the third successive match.<\/p>\n
Replying to the visitors\u2019 modest 228, Durham\u2019s batters encountered their own problems against the new Kookaburra ball.<\/p>\n
Ben McKinney gave Phillip his first wicket for his new county when he played on for eight and Scott Borthwick\u2019s indeterminate waft at a ball from Bailey edged a catch to Hurst with the home skipper on nine.<\/p>\n
Alex Lees fell to Phillip for 43 and then Ollie Robinson was trapped on the crease by Tom Aspinwall for four.<\/p>\n
However, there were no more Lancashire breakthroughs as Bedingham and Ackermann prospered in the evening sun.<\/p>\n
