Dream start for Durham as Fernandes edges the first ball of the day, from Alridge, to Rhodes at third slip.
He's out for 3.
Durham need seven more wickets for promotion.
Middlesex 55-3. Target 424.
#BBCcricket

What a beautiful day for a game of cricket.
It's the final day of Durham v Middlesex and we could be seeing a promotion party later.
Here's the preview.

Here's the BBC Radio Newcastle commentary link for the final day of Durham v Middlesex.
The hosts need eight wickets for promotion and it's a lovely day at The Riverside:

It's me and Kevin Hand on commentary again.
Se you at 10.25am.
#BBCcricket

Durham v Middlesex will go to a fourth and final day tomorrow.
The elements and the slow pace of the game prevented a three day finish today.
#BBCcricket

Umpires have been out two or three times to inspect but say the light is still not good enough.
They will look again at 5.45pm.
My thought is they will then call it off for the day with the final 29 overs lost to the elements and Middlesex 55-2 and chasing 424 to beat Durham.
#BBCcricket

Bad light again.
Middlesex are 55-2. 29.4 overs remain today in theory!
Durham are going to have to do this tomorrow.
#BBCcricket

Hollman didn't look long for this world.
He was dropped on none in the first over off Raine, then really struggled to cope with Carse' pace.
He's just been caught down the leg side on 26.
Middlesex 38-1 and it's blowing a hoolie.
They need another 386 to beat Durham.
#BBCcricket

Hollman dropped on none, by Clark at point, off Raine third ball of the innings.
Middlesex need 424 to beat Durham.
42 overs left today.
#BBCcricket

Durham didn't declare. They batted on around the bad light and the odd shower, until they were eventually all out for 374.
Middlesex need 424 to win.
Tea has bee taken. There are 41 overs left today but I don't think we will see all of those because of the light.
Final day tomorrow.
#BBCcricket

Raine was forecast between 1pm and 2pm and it has arrived at 1.30pm, so the players have gone off.
Durham are 335-7 and lead Middlesex by 384.
I wonder if they may declare during this rain break? It would be a good time to!

She's back now.
Durham are 281-4 and lead Middlesex by 330.
#BBCcricket

Ben McKinney moves to 150. It comes in 177 balls, 21x4 and 1x6.
Durham are now 268-4 having lost Agarwal this morning for 21 and Clark for four - for the second time in the game.
They lead Middlesex by 317 at 268-4.

Here's the BBC Radio Newcastle commentary link for day three of Durham v Middlesex.
Durham could wrap promotion up today!

We look set to start on time - which is 10.30am for those who haven't been paying attention.
Tis me and the boy Kev Hand again today.
#BBCCricket

It's day three of Durham v Middlesex.
Will it be the final day as well?
Rain and light permitting, this could be over today.
Here's the preview.

Day two of Durham v Middlesex turned out to be one of vastly contrasting fortunes.
But Durham are in a great position to seal promotion this week, at the first time of asking.
#BBCcricket

Players have gone off for bad light with six overs left in the day.
Durham are 204-2 and lead by 253.
McKinney 115 (149) Agarwal 10 (33).

#BBCcricket

McKinney reaches his second century in three games and his third of the year, following 244 at Bristol in April and 140 at Derby a fortnight ago.
This one comes in 128 balls an 14x4s. Been a very sensible innings.
It's the 7th of his FC career.
Durham are 188-2 and lead Middlesex by 237.
#BBCcricket

Rhodes clips a ball from Morgan to Geddes in the gully and is out for 34.
He added 89 with McKinney, who has 94.
