Durham proved they are not a one-man show in the One-Day Cup as Will Rhodes stepped up to the plate to maintain their unbeaten start on a day also featuring wins for Yorkshire, Sussex and Warwickshire.<\/p>\n
Talisman Ben Stokes has been in red-hot form since leaving the worries of Test cricket behind him, posting unbeaten scores of 108 and 73 in this competition – but he lasted just one ball in Durham’s chase of Glamorgan’s 326-6.<\/p>\n
It was Dan Douthwaite who put the frighteners on, removing Emilio Gay and Stokes in consecutive balls.<\/p>\n
But it was a case of ‘no Stokes, no bother’ as Rhodes donned the cape to post his career-best List A score of 148 not out. He and Kasey Aldridge put on 145 to lift Durham from 97-6 to 242-7.<\/p>\n
After Aldridge went, James Minto (30) and Rhodes got them home by three wickets with three balls to spare at 328-7.<\/p>\n
Rhodes had earlier taken 2-31 with the ball but it was a day for the batters with Eddie Byrom (76), Zain ul Hassan (65), Callum Nicholls (45) and Douthwaite (45) helping Glamorgan set a challenging, if ultimately unsuccessful, total.<\/p>\n
Victory lifted Durham third in Group B, level on points with Yorkshire and Middlesex.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire ended Worcestershire Rapids’ unbeaten start in emphatic fashion, winning by six wickets with 56 balls to spare at Clifton Park.<\/p>\n
Will Luxton posted his second consecutive century following a 117 against Sussex on Sunday, reaching a career-best 126 as Yorkshire chased down Worcestershire’s under-par 230 with plenty to spare.<\/p>\n
Half centuries from Dan Lategan (67), Henry Cullen (70) and Matt Waite (53) proved insufficient as the remainder of the Rapids line-up failed to contribute with the bat.<\/p>\n
Luxton, who is now the competition’s top scorer with 331 runs, took his side to the brink of victory, departing four balls before George Hill hit the winning runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Durham proved they are not a one-man show in the One-Day Cup as Will Rhodes stepped up to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":717914,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-718906","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718906","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=718906"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/718906\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/717914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=718906"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=718906"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=718906"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
