Tom Abell was lbw to one that nipped back off the pitch for five and Andy Umeed was dismissed in similar fashion for 14 when hit on the back Overton was out to his first delivery when his attempt to work the ball on the leg side merely leading-edged a comfortable catch to Gay in the gully, and Killeen completed his five-wicket haul in his next over when Archie Vaughan pushed forward but only edged a catch to Colin Ackermann at second was a reminder of cricket's ability to bring players down to earth when Matt Henry hit Killeen for three fours in his next over and that brief assault was the foretaste of a last-wicket partnership that yielded 44 valuable runs for the visitors. Codi Yusuf ended the fun when he bowled Migael Pretorius for 20, leaving Henry unbeaten on 23 and giving Durham a first innings lead of brought an end to one period of helter-skelter cricket. In less than 90 minutes, Somerset had scored 109 runs and lost seven wickets in 21.4 overs. It also concluded Yusuf's part in the match.

Ben McKinney was caught behind and Gay taken by Lewis Gregory at first slip, both for ducks, to leave the home side on 9-2, and they had only advanced to 18-2 when the lunch interval delayed the start of the afternoon's play for 20 minutes but the interruption only compounded the batsmen's problems. David Bedingham was caught at slip by Overton off Josh Davey for eight and the modest recovery represented by Alex Lees and Ollie Robinson's 31-run stand ended when Lees was lbw to Pretorius for 35 and Ackermann was caught down the leg side off Overton for lead was only 193 when Robinson was caught in the gully by Umeed off Pretorius for 35 and Raine could add just nine more runs before he slapped Henry to Abell at James Minto joined Clark and this pair batted sensibly to add 26 before Clark was lbw to Pretorius four balls after tea. Minto and Hogg then added 21 for Durham's last wicket before the home side were bowled out for 159, Pretorius taking 3-46 and Henry 3-51, giving him match figures of being faced with a daunting target on a spicy pitch, Gregory and Davey batted sensibly against an inexperienced attack to put on 35 before Killeen knocked out Davey's off stump.

The hosts got their third soon after as Brydon Carse bowled Freddie McCann for six with one that clipped the remained at the crease and he passed fifty for the second time in the match from 69 balls. He then utilised the pace of Carse as he carved one to the Nottinghamshire opener continued to play nicely, but he was the next man to fall as he was caught behind from a Codi Yusuf delivery for a well-made was joined in the middle by Jack Haynes and the former looked good as he smashed a Raine delivery to the offside then continued to take chunks out of the hosts' lead with a lovely shot for four past third man region just before and Haynes combined for a fifty partnership and the former passed fifty for the first time this season from a rapid 58 was very much a foil for Clarke's aggression, but he departed for 24 as George Drissell got him lbw to leave Clarke needing a bit of a hand. He was very nearly out himself as a short ball from Carse was hooked towards fine leg, but Yusuf failed to take the catch with the Nottinghamshire man on Africa wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne produced a delightful drive through the covers for four, which took his side into the chances of a win were seemingly slipping away as Verryenne continued to be positive, while Clarke looked they got a much-needed breakthrough, as Verreynne, who had looked comfortable, was then caught behind from the first ball after tea as Drissell coaxed an edge from the South African who had to depart for then reached his 25th first-class century from 140 balls, but another wicket fell as Lyndon James was caught behind off the bowling of Ackermann for a excellent session continued as Raine bowled Liam Patterson-White for three and he then struck again to bowl Brett Hutton for a excellent knock of 119 ended as he chopped on from a Yusuf delivery, setting Durham a target of 91 from 18 was more drama though, as McKinney was bowled by Abbas for a first ball duck and Emilio Gay was caught behind from the same bowler.
