Ben McKinney hits 184 as Durham close in on promotion

Ben McKinney scored 184 for Durham against Middlesex in Division Two of the County Championship. The century was McKinney's third of the season and put Durham within touching distance of promotion.

Brydon Carse took a five-wicket haul to restrict Middlesex and leave Durham in control at Chester-le-Street. The result strengthened Durham's position at the top of the Division Two table.

Middlesex face a difficult chase if they are to avoid defeat. Durham need one more win to confirm their return to Division One with two rounds remaining.
