Gloucestershire vs Durham Day Two report- Raine and Roach star as Durham dominate in Bristol

The visitors began their day by extending their first innings total from an overnight 456 for two to 605 for five before declaring shortly before lunch.

Ben McKinney was finally dismissed for 244, while David Bedingham contributed 118, the pair sharing a third-wicket stand of 209 in 38.3 overs.

Roach (three for 50) and Raine (three for 42) then helped reduce Gloucestershire to 109 for seven in reply before Craig Miles and Matt Taylor offered belated resistance to guide their struggling team to 168 for eight at stumps.

After play, Durham's Kasey Aldridge said: "It has been another great day for us. David Bedingham is a class act with the bat and his century on top of Ben McKinney's brilliant innings took us to a really challenging total.

"It is not a 600-plus wicket and we knew if we put the ball in the right area often enough we would be rewarded. All the bowlers performed well and, of course, scoreboard pressure can be a factor.

"The pitch is still decent to bat on. Perhaps one or two divots when it was softer on day one hardened up today and enabled us to get more movement than they did.

"There is still a lot of work to be done to take 12 more wickets tomorrow or Monday, but weather permitting, we have given ourselves plenty of time to bowl them out twice."
