A DUCK was out in the rain at the Emirates Riverside on Tuesday - as Day Three of Durham's Specsavers County Championship match against Somerset proved a washout with umpires calling play off for the day.
Durham lead by 300 runs, but more rain is forecast on Wednesday which could put a dampener on their bid to win the season's opener.
