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. After being hit on the helmet on Friday evening, he was diagnosed as suffering from concussion at lunchtime and replaced by Daniel start of Durham's second innings continued the morning drama as Matt Henry took two wickets in three balls in his second over. 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. That brought Tom Lammonby to the crease and he and Davey had added a further 36 runs before the gloom closed Reporters' Network supported by Rothesay

Matt Henry takes four wickets on opening day against Durham
Matt Henry took four wickets for Somerset but 20-year-old Mitch Killeen's late strike helped Durham just shade the first day of the Rothesay County Championship match at the Banks Homes Riverside, writes Paul Edwards, ECB Reporters' Network. Despite Ollie Robinson's 52 and a half-century stand for the last wicket, the home side were dismissed for 253 in their first innings in a match between teams who possess identical records and are currently separated by a handful of bonus points in the Division One table. Having accounted for three top -order batsmen, Henry returned figures of four for 60 but Somerset were 63 for three in reply at the close with the wicket of Tom Lammonby falling to Championship debutant Killeen for 24 just seven balls before the close. The day's cricket began in atrocious fashion for the home side when their captain, Alex Lees, inside-edged Henry's first ball of the game onto his off stump ands departed for a golden duck. Ben McKinney and Emilio Gay then repaired the home side's innings with a 65-run stand in 20 overs before McKinney was caught behind by James Rew for 30 when he played outside a ball from Josh Davey that was angled in to him from around the wicket. Gay had already been dropped on 26 at midwicket by Jack Leach off Migael Pretorius when McKinney's wicket fell but the former Northamptonshire batsman could not capitalise on his escape. Instead he was dismissed for 41 a quarter of an hour before lunch when he top edged a pull off Henry to Tom Abell at long leg.

And they would have been ecstatic a few minutes after the resumption when the palpably dangerous Bedingham shuffled across his stumps, looked to work the ball to leg and was lbw to his fellow South African, Pretorius, for 17. Robinson responded to that reverse by taking hitting three fine fours in four balls of an over from Craig Overton and all this seemed to set the tone for a session in which quick runs were traded for wickets. Having made 51 runs off 45 deliveries since his lunch and reached his half-century in 61 minutes off 52 balls in all, Robinson was caught by Rew off Henry when he nicked a ball of full length towards first slip. only to see the diving keeper complete a fine catch. Graham Clark then made 15 in 21 minutes before apparently snicking Josh Davey down the leg side to Rew and his departure left Durham on 185 for six in the 50th over. Colin Ackermann was bowled by Overton for 30 and five balls later, Raine was leg before to Pretorius for 25. Tea arrived with Durham on 227 for eight, 131 runs having been scored and five wickets taken in the session's 34 overs. Five balls into the evening session, Mitch Killeen's first innings in Championship cricket ended when he was caught by first slip Lewis Gregory off Henry for a 15-ball nought but Codi Yusuf and Minto then batted as calmly and sensibly as most of the top order to take Durham to their first bonus point of the innings. And not content with adding the 23 runs necessary for that landmark to be reached, the pair put on exactly 50 before Minto, who made 67 as a nightwatchman-opener last week, was caught by Lammonby at square leg off Pretorius for 34. Yusuf was unbeaten on 16 and Pretorius finished with three for 63. Somerset's first innings also began poorly when Gregory was bowled by Minto for five when his attempt to let the ball go only diverted it into his stumps but Davey and Lammonby added 42 before Davey was caught at slip off Yusuf for 24 and Lammonby was caught behind off Minto for 18
