Looking towards the scoreboard and the Don Robson Pavilion from seats at the Lumley End of this friendly ground. The majority of a good socially-distanced crowd were enjoying the afternoon's play much less than we visiting supporters were. The scoreboard shows that Durham were struggling at 116 for 7 in reply to Nottinghamshire's first-innings score of 328. A wicket had just fallen to give Notts' 19-year-old all-rounder Joey Evison a fifth wicket for only 17 runs, and the board shows that the other two wickets had been taken by Stuart Broad. The match ended as a draw the following day, in brilliant sunshine.
