Colin Ackermann’s century failed to deter a spirited Essex bowling attack from dismissing Durham for 358 on Day One of the sides’ Vitality County Championship contest at Seat Unique Riverside. Ackermann struck a fine 112 and two further home batters made it to fifty, but the perseverance of Jamie Porter and Sam Cook, the latter in his first outing as captain, brought them three wickets apiece. Simon Harmer and Shane Snater also took two scalps each as Durham were dismissed in the final trappings of the day, leaving Essex to bat out two overs. Dean Elgar and nightwatchman Cook survived them, reaching stumps on 5-0 to give the hosts an overall lead of 353. Watch the full highlights above.
