Durham gave Geoff Cook nothing to worry about as they took over from visitors Hampshire at the top of Group B in the YorkshireBank 40 League with a six-wicket victory at Chester-le-Street. With coach Cook still in a critical condition following his heart attack on Thursday, his team romped to their fourth successive win in the competition with 2.4 overs to spare.Despite conceding 93 off the last 10 overs, Durham restricted the holders to224 for 9 and lost acting captain Mark Stoneman in the first over of theirreply.A brief shower with the score on 55 for 1 in the 13th over reduced the targetto 218 in 38 overs and, by the time Phil Mustard and Scott Borthwick had put on164 for the second wicket, victory was a formality.Mustard was dropped on 11 at slip by Sean Ervine off Pakistani left-arm pacemanSohail Tanvir and Borthwick survived a return chance to James Vince on 12. Mustard went on to make 92 off 90 balls and Borthwick registered his maidenone-day fifty into 80 off 82 deliveries before holing out with 17 needed.Borthwick hit sixes off both left-arm spinners, Danny Briggs and Liam Dawson,who had combined figures of 0 for 85 in 11 overs.Tanvir took all four wickets to fall, producing excellent deliveries to cleanbowl Stoneman and Ben Stokes. But only three were needed when he nipped one backoff the pitch to breach Stokes’ defence and Paul Collingwood saw Durham homewith an unbeaten 32.Hampshire were not helped by Dimitri Mascarenhas being unable to bowl followinga back spasm, while Michael Carberry went for an X-ray after damaging a thumb.For Durham, Chris Rushworth bowled with great control to take 5 for 42 afterHampshire were put in and the target looked like being much lower until Dawsonthrashed 69 off 46 balls.The openers put on 23 before Vince drove to mid-off and Carberry was caught atleg gully, deliberately placed for the miscued pull. Jimmy Adams and Neil McKenzie carefully added 34 in 11 overs before the SouthAfrican tried to flip a straight ball from Collingwood to fine leg and was lbwfor 18.There was a second wicket for Collingwood when Adams holed out to Stokes atdeep midwicket after making 32 off 50 balls. That brought in Dawson at 112 for 4 in the 27th over and four overs later hebegan the late onslaught by sweeping a six as Collingwood’s final over cost 12and left him with 2 for 44.The last four overs yielded 46 with Dawson driving two successive balls fromStokes for six. The first took him to 50 off 37 balls. Stokes’ first four overs were tight but he finished with 1 for 56 on what wasnot a good day for either him or Briggs ahead of teaming up with the EnglandTwenty20 squad this week.
