At last, Coetzer edges Maddy to slip to perish for 142 and conclude a partnership of 182 with Ben Harmison (84 not out). Otis Gibson joins Harmison at the crease and when immediately offered bad light they accept!
Truly bizarre! Durham are 378 for 6, 139 ahead of Warwickshire, and have spent the day rubbing their noses in the dirt. They have absolutely nothing to lose by staying out there but everything to gain. They could only have further driven home their dominance.
Warwickshire can't wait to get off after a wretched day - and Durham brought the moment forward. Very odd!

Brian,
You have covered football teams during relagation seasons, do the warwickshire side have a similar body language?
Todays play has made for depressing reading.

I have to say, yes, Paul.
Having said that, the same applied during the shambolic defeat at Scarborough last summer. After that, I fearlessly predicted on Midlands Today that the Bears were going down - and they promptly won three games on the trot to shoot up the table.
Bit worrying that they still have to travel to Sussex, Yorkshire and Lancashire though.

If a football team was on a run like this the manager would be sacked.
