Durham v Nottinghamshire - Durham win by .. runs
Nottinghamshire won the toss and decided to field
Dur - 310-4
Not - 219

Durham made a strong start flying to 102-0 off the first 12 overs. Mustard brought up his 50 in 37 balls and Stoneman followed bringing up his in 46 balls. They didn't stop there either but continued to build a huge partnership. Stoneman (72) was finally caught in the batting powerplay after making 183 with his opening partner. Next over Mustard scored his 100th run off just 66 balls, however from his next delivery Carter bowled him, to make it 186-2. Patel picked up his second wicket with his penultimate ball, but Durham marched on, passing 300 in the final over of the innings.
     Lumb departed early and was followed by Hales. Wessels scored 20 but was bowled in the sixth over. Taylor, star of Nottinghamshire's last game,  made just 1, as the visitors slipped to 31-4, all of the wickets taken by Rushworth. When he had Patel caught behind in the tenth over the game was all but over. Nottinghamshire added 47 for the sixth wicket and 99 for the eighth, Franks (57) took 21 off one over from Plunkett and Voges made 74, but it was never going to be enough.

Star Player: Rushworth, for preventing Nottinghamshire from making a quick start to their innings and for taking 5 for 31, in a blistering spell of bowling.
