Durham extended their unbeaten run in the One-Day Cup competition, successfully chasing Glamorgan’s total of 326-6 to win by three wickets with three balls remaining. The standout performance came from Will Rhodes, who recorded a career-best List A score of 148 not out after the team found itself in a precarious position at 97-6. Rhodes shared a 145-run partnership with Kasey Aldridge before finishing the chase alongside James Minto, demonstrating that Durham’s strength extends beyond their star player.
Talisman Ben Stokes, who had delivered strong performances earlier in the tournament with unbeaten scores of 108 and 73, fell to Dan Douthwaite for a duck off the first ball he faced. Douthwaite’s impressive spell included consecutive dismissals of Emilio Gay and Stokes. For Glamorgan, Eddie Byrom (76), Zain ul Hassan (65), Callum Nicholls (45) and Douthwaite (45) contributed to setting a competitive total, though it ultimately proved insufficient.
Elsewhere in Group B, Yorkshire delivered a dominant performance against Worcestershire Rapids, winning by six wickets with 56 balls to spare at Clifton Park. Will Luxton recorded his second consecutive century with a career-best 126, while Worcestershire’s 230 proved inadequate despite half centuries from Dan Lategan (67), Henry Cullen (70) and Matt Waite (53). Luxton now leads the competition with 331 runs.
Sussex claimed their first One-Day Cup victory of the season by defeating Essex by five wickets with four balls to spare, moving off the bottom of the table. After Essex posted 316-6 featuring a maiden List A century from 21-year-old opener Noah Thain (102), Sussex’s chase was anchored by Charlie Tear (73), Jack Leaning (59 not out) and Jack Carson (53).
In Group A, Warwickshire defeated Surrey by 45 runs, reaching 341-4 through Ed Barnard (140), Zen Malik (58) and Vaansh Jani (66). Oliver Hannon-Dalby took 5-60, including three wickets in six deliveries to seal victory for the Bears, who climbed above Kent on net run rate.
