Durham's Matthew Potts was instrumental, taking 5-45 in the match to complement his previous 8-66 against Derbyshire in June. Meanwhile, Carse has impressed observers, described as "100 per cent pure thoroughbred" after bowling Nick Potts for 2, with experts suggesting he could be unplayable if he continues to pitch the ball up and hit the stumps consistently.
