THERE was no play in the first session and little likelihood of any afterwards on the third day of Worcestershire's Specsavers County Championship match at Durham.

Although some rain is forecast for tomorrow the promotion-chasing visitors will still fancy their chances of winning in Division Two after establishing a lead of 170 going into the second innings.

The rain relented at around noon today when the covers were removed.

But it returned an hour later and was expected to continue until well into the evening.
