It's pretty entertaining stuff right now, unless your name is Colin Ackermann or Will Rhodes.

The two Durham bowlers are being carted around by Gloucestershire's last pair, who are now within two runs of making the home side bat again.

JT Langridge has 31 and Sai Kishore 29.

Toby Albert drives nicely and a thickish edge rattles down to the backward point boundary off Zain ul-Hassan.

Dan Douthwaite makes a valiant attempt to chase and dive at the ball as it breaches the rope but he can't quite pull it back.

Good effort from the big lad at the end of a day when staying loose has not been easy.

What on earth is JT Langridge doing coming in at 11?

The left-hander unleashes a drive over the top for six off Colin Ackermann that's as good as anything we've seen today.

Next over Langridge pumps Will Rhodes over the head of mid-off for four more and he's scored 15 from nine balls. At this rate, Durham may yet have to bat again...

Six overs have been lost so there are 13 minimum to come from here.

Glam have a huddle on the edge of the pitch and Ali Orr (36) and Toby Albert (5) are swinging their bats to warm up shoulders and Zain ul-Hassan has the ball in hand.

Here we go...

At this point he's trying to get rid of the deficit in sixes.

13 off the over.

Sai Kishore is certainly going to have a dart, as BBC Radio Bristol's Ed Seabourne suggested earlier.

He drives Will Rhodes to the cover boundary before taking on Colin Ackermann and clearing long-off for a six that brings up Gloucestershire's 200.

Such an enjoyable feeling for Kishore that he repeats the stroke later in the over, with the same result.

James Hayes obviously intends to go down fighting - he clobbers Colin Ackermann back down the ground for a boundary. It'd need a lot more of those to make any difference to the outcome, you suspect.

Sai Kishore is looking to score where he can as well, coming down the track to the spinner to steer a single. He has seven to his name, one fewer than his partner.

In theory, there are 26 overs left tonight. The odds on those being bowled are very long indeed - and Durham will certainly hope they don't need anything like as many as that to finish off the game.

Glam 161 v Hants 162 & 83-1

With a member of the crowd shouting "Get on with it" the players are coming off as light drizzle starts to fall.

Glam were starting to get a little bit of movement and batting looked more uncomfortable than at any stage of their innings so far.

Ali Orr has 36 and Toby Albert 5 and the visitors have a lead of 84 runs with a minimum 19 overs to come in the day if the light holds and the drizzle passes.

With the light deteriorating, Durham have been forced to keep all of their frontline seam quartet out of the attack - so it's over to medium-pacer Will Rhodes to join Colin Ackermann and try to finish Gloucestershire off.

Rhodes' first over yields a leg-bye, but the visitors are still 67 short of making Durham bat again and we're right into the tail now.

A maiden for Timm van der Gugten who is now 0-21 from his eight overs.

Mir Hamza is back on at the other end as the opening pair rejoin the battle and his costs just the single.

The last delivery of Hamza's over swings wildly after it passes Toby Albert's bat which brings rueful smiles all round.

Gloucestershire are on the brink of a ninth defeat in 10 matches.

They have been told they can no longer bowl pace.

I wonder if Sai Kishore will have a dart here.

Bottom side Hampshire are doing their best to make up for lost time in this match after the weather took an unexpected turn for the better in the afternoon.

The tempo of the match changed in the sunshine after Hampshire had had the heavy roller applied, with Ali Orr and Nick Gubbins setting off in determined style.

Orr survived a concerted caught-behind appeal off Mir Hamza, but the openers had 68 on the board by the tea interval - the highest stand of the match to date.

They added just two more in the final session before Hamza won an lbw verdict against a dismayed Gubbins, whose purposeful 40 included seven fours.

A slightly surreal atmosphere in Cardiff with just a few dozen spectators in because of the long delays.

Not sure Durham fans will like hearing that, Michael... but you may yet be right.

Timm van der Gugten slumps, hands to knees, after big shout for lbw against Ali Orr (on 32) is turned down.

There is an argument that that looked as close as the one that dismissed Nick Gubbins, arcing away from leg stump line and straightening to hit in front of middle and off.

Height is the only reason that was not given but that looked okay as well. Swings and roundabouts but the ball is moving a bit more now.

James Bracey clearly has confidence in Mitch Killeen's ability with the bat as he takes a single from the first ball of this latest Ben Stokes over and watches the rest from the non-striker's end.

Killeen has a couple of semi-wafts at widish deliveries, but he remains at the crease, 14 not out and holding up Durham's attempts to close the game out this evening.
