Jamie Harrison gave himself a pre-season confidence boost by claiming 5 for 60 in Abu Dubai to help limit MCC’s lead to 44 in the Champion County match.MCC fell away from 169 for 1 following a second-wicket stand of 112 between Lancashire’s Luis Reece and Kent’s Daniel Bell-Drummond. Scott Borthwick, the legspinner, also produced a handy performance by claiming 3 for 95 from 27 overs which included the scalps of former India batsman Virender Sehwag, who was caught at mid-on, and Sri Lanka wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene.MCC’s reply to Durham’s 248 had begun solidly as Reece and Sam Robson, the latter pushing for an England call-up this season, put on 57. Reece struck 12 boundaries in his stay before becoming Borthwick’s second wicket.Harrison, a 23-year-old left-armer, then began to make his inroads when he removed Samit Patel, turning around his figures which stood at 7-0-39-0. He later found himself on a hat-trick after claiming Ollie Rayner and Andre Adams as he sped through MCC’s tail with the second new ball.This is just the eighth match of Harrison’s first-class career, which has been stalled in its early stages by a stress fracture in 2012, but this performance – and the way he finished last season – suggests he is ready to play a more central role in Durham’s Championship; he ended the 2013 campaign with 14 wickets in four matches as Durham surged to the title.There was time for Durham to start their second innings and Keaton Jennings fell for a duck – becoming Kyle Hogg’s fifth wicket of the match – before Mark Stoneman and Borthwick took the county back into a slender lead
