McKinney 184 leaves Durham on brink of promotion-clinching win
Reported by Varun Krishnan (Senior Writer) · ESPN - Cricket ·
League leaders Middlesex are on the brink of securing their Division One return after Durham's dramatic win on Day 3. Middlesex need 369 runs on the final day to clinch promotion, with Ben McKinney taking his overnight 115 to 184. The victory has left Durham in control, with a five-for from Carse putting the pressure on the Middlesex batsmen. However, Middlesex's hopes were boosted by a four-for from Morgan, which will give the team a boost on the final day. Despite the setback, Middlesex are not out of the woods yet and will need to fight hard to avoid relegation. The team has been hit by an administrative error that has ruled out du Plooy for the rest of the season, and they are now seeking legal advice to clarify the situation. With the team's future hanging in the balance, Middlesex will need to pull out all the stops to secure their Division One return. The match is currently being played at the park, with the team's fans eagerly awaiting the outcome.
