Kemar Roach missed last week’s match against Lancashire because of a tight groin.
After bowling 9.1 overs today he’s taken his cap from the umpire and walked off.
He appeared to be holding his groin again.
Colin Ackermann has come on as a 12th man.
Is the curse of the Durham overseas bowler striking again? They have no luck with overseas signings in recent years, with many heading home earlier than planned. And at least two I can think of in the last two years or so who didn’t finish a full game.
Without Roach Durham have an issue. This looks like a really good batting track and they will struggle to take 10 wickets on it, never mind 20. No doubt discussions will be taking place over a substitution.
