Chanderpaul scores century again

Shivnarine Chanderpaul scored his third hundred in four innings for Durham yesterday in the English County Championship.



Chanderpaul is currently out of the West Indies team because of the long-running contracts dispute between senior players and the West Indies Cricket Board.



The left-handed West Indies batsman scored an unbeaten 100. He shared an unbroken stand of 183 with former South Africa international Dale Benkenstein to help Durham reached 390-3, replying to Worcestershire’s first innings total of 356 at New Road.



Meanwhile, out-of-favour West Indies batsman Wavell Hinds of Jamaica made 37 in Derbyshire’s big first innings total of 474 against Essex. In their reply, Essex reached 166-2 at the close of play.



Pakistan leg-spinner Danish Kaneria collected the first hat trick of his career, as Essex took Derbyshire’s last seven wickets for 74 runs.
