Cup round-up: Yorkshire beat Durham to top Group B"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Led admirably so far by Kasey Aldridge and boosted by the availability of superstar all-rounder Stokes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/durham\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Durham<\/a> have cut an impressive swathe through the first three rounds of the competition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But after winning the toss and electing to bat at York, they were cut down in brutal style to post 165 in 48.1 overs as Ben Cliff (4-38) and overseas spinner Kuldeep Yadav (2-23) dominated, the latter dismissing Stokes for 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/yorkshire\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Yorkshire<\/a> spluttered a touch early in their reply with Liam Robinson and Stokes striking to leave the hosts 5-2 in the third over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">But Will Bennison (36) steadied the ship with Wharton (68 not out) before the latter chased down the total with Whiteman (52 not out) to help Yorkshire to a seven-wicket win with 54 balls to spare. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/middlesex\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Middlesex<\/a> opener Josh de Caires is enjoying a fine tournament with both bat and ball having posted a career best 75 and 6-35 against Hampshire last week, and he raised his mark with the bat to 130 against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/worcestershire\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Worcestershire<\/a> as his previously unbeaten side posted 293-7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Unfortunately for Ben Geddes&#8217;s side he was unable to add a wicket as the Rapids  judged their chase to perfection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Brett D&#8217;Oliveira (50) ensured the hosts got their reply motoring, but it was Jake Libby with an unbeaten 109 and Henry Cullen (73) who combined for a 117-run partnership for the fourth wicket, leaving Worcestershire needing 70 from 57 balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Middlesex bagged two more wickets, but could not get the pivotal one of Libby as Worcestershire went third in Group B with Yorkshire&#8217;s earlier win dropping Middlesex to second spot. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/essex\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Essex<\/a> opener Noah Thain continued his fine form with the bat in this competition by posting the second century of his campaign, but it was not enough to prevent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/hampshire\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hampshire<\/a> winning a second match to move up a place to fifth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 21-year-old sits second in the batting charts with 325 runs behind Yorkshire&#8217;s Will Luxton (335) after his 109 here as Essex scored 317 in 49 overs after electing to bat first at Chelmsford. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, Ashutosh Sharma, with 5-51, went one better to move top of the wicket-taking charts. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Hampshire were in good order in reply as captain Nick Gubbins (53), Fletcha Middleton (47), Tom Prest (51) and James Fuller (58 not out) all contributed in a total of 321-7, getting home with 14 balls to spare to win by three wickets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In the other Group B match, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/derbyshire\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Derbyshire<\/a> posted a first win of the competition at the fourth time of asking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/articles\/cvgw487y5y2o\"

e1jhz7w10\">Wicketkeeper Brooke Guest hit an unbeaten 108 and was ably supported by Caleb Jewell (84) as Derbyshire posted 315-5 in 50 overs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Zain-ul-Hassan (61) and Alex Horton (81) did their best to keep <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/cricket\/teams\/glamorgan\" class=\"ssrcss-1fqyhkk-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Glamorgan<\/a> in the hunt but the latter&#8217;s exit with 53 still needed from 28 balls removed all the wind from their sails. The last two wickets fell in the 48th over as the innings was becalmed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Led admirably so far by Kasey Aldridge and boosted by the availability of superstar all-rounder Stokes, Durham have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-721872","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\/721872","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=721872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
