Logically, Durham should save their sixth victory of the season Wednesday and extend their lead on Lancashire at the top with 23 points. But since when is arrival at Aigburth inside?
For the three matches in the fortress of so-called Lancashire home this season have all features and turns. And do not bet on it being different.
Championship leaders will resume with need of an another 154 with seven wickets in hand on a field which, faithful to the previous ones, has become more user-friendly drummer as the game was developed.
But by removing Michael di Venuto, Gordon Muchall and watchman Graham onions in the last 10 overs of another absorbing day, Lancashire have demonstrated that they do not want to go quietly.
And, after the fall of 33 wickets on the first two days, an exciting final can be expected this morning when the ground entry will be free.
Di Venuto was the first to go, the pinned front legs for the second time in the game by Kyle Hogg, who represented Muchall in four overs in the same way later. And when Steven Croft clinging to a spectacular catch at third slip to dismiss the onions, the faithful of Red Rose fragrant blood. But Paul Collingwood and Will Smith survived to fight another day.
If the Lancashire is beaten for the second time in seven games, they will be left to the street of the inability of many batsmen to compile a major innings after a decent start.
Stephen Moore was the first party guilty, vaguely Graham onions to cover, before Paul Horton and Karl Brown left in high dudgeon on the wrong end of LBW decisions.
Mark Chilton and Croft led Lancashire past 150, and then suffered a rampant Harmison of Stephen in a spell afternoon of 7-2-19-2 as Lancashire undermined sufficiently to reduce to silence the barrackers from the beer tent.
The departure of Gareth Cross, sixth man off and one of three late order batsman to be overturned off the coast of the inside edge, appeared to have opened the door to Durham but Procter of Luke, a rookie from Oldham all-rounder, had other ideas as he posted his second Championshiip half-century of 103 balls with eight legs.
