Durham take the lead

Durham 244 for 5 (87 overs). Coetzer 93, Harmison 9. Five in front.
Poor session so far for the Bears since lunch. Too many four-balls and little decent use made of new ball. Also, when the bowlers earn a chance, it is not taken. Coetzer, on 87, edges Tahir at catchable height smack between Trott and Maddy at first and second slip. The fielders leave it to each other.
Coetzer's innings is hugely significant in the context of the match but quite colourless. He has just showed a lot of patience, an attribute of which Warwickshire's batters much show a great deal more in the second innings than they did in the first.

How's their mood looking, Brian? Still chirpy or a bit quiet?

Not chirpy, Kim. Heads have not dropped exactly but there is a lack of spark. A sense of going through the motions.
