But his attacking instincts left him in no position to deal with some skiddy extra pace as Barry McCarthys next ball pinned him lbw.McCarthy, who will shortly be on Ireland duty again in the one-day series against Afghanistan, shared the second new ball in the absence of Chris Rushworth.After bowling 16 of the first 40 overs as Durham desperately sought a breakthrough Rushworth was off the field foor the rest of the day.dddddddddddde conceded only 30 runs and beat both openers several times, although the greatest scares came in the first four balls.Jimmy Adams, sent back when almost halfway down the pitch after Will Smith played to midwicket, would have been out had the throw throw hit the stumps. Then Smith went perilously close to playing on.Adams drove nicely through the off side and had a couple of leg glances among the eight fours in his 76-ball half-century.Smith needed 121 balls to reach his 50 and continued to leave the many balls wide of off stump before nibbling at one which left him in Keaton Jennings second over of gentle medium pace.Smith was caught behind for 67 and Adams drove a head-high catch to Jennings at midwicket off McCarthy. Tom Alsop played well for 40 before offspinner Ryan Pringle hurried one through to have him lbw to bring in Wheater, who twice reverse-swept Pringle to the boundary.Jennings, deputising at first slip for the injured Paul Collingwood for much of the day, clung on at the second attempt late in the day to remove Ryan McLaren, giving Paul Coughlin a wicket in his first Championship appearance of the season.
