Durham were given a late scare by Kabir Ali, making his Lancashire debut,before clinching a 39-run win in the Yorkshire Bank 40 match atChester-le-Street.The visitors were 162 for 8 in reply to 297 for 9 when Kabir went to thecrease to join Jordan Clark. They added 45 in four overs before Clark departedfor a career-best 72, then Stephen Parry shared a last-wicket stand of 51 in sixovers.Kabir thrashed five sixes, four of them off Chris Rushworth, in his 24-ballhalf-century before he was bowled for 59 by Ben Stokes with the total on 258. Lancashire were all out with 3.5 overs left and last year’s semi-finalists nowhave little chance of progressing after being outplayed by Durham for the secondtime in this season’s competition.Simon Katich invited Durham to bat in perfect conditions and acting captainMark Stoneman put on 126 in 14 overs with fellow opener Phil Mustard. After playing second fiddle in the first few overs, Mustard hit five fours inan over from Clark to reach 50 off 37 balls with ten boundaries.He holed out at long-on for 65 off Parry, but Stoneman went on to make 85,while Gordon Muchall followed his 30-ball half-century against Derbyshire onMonday by making 48 off 33 balls, and Ben Stokes weighed in with 40 off 33.Lancashire raced to 29 after four overs in reply, but in the next five oversthey lost four wickets, three of them to Graham Onions, who bowled straightthrough his eight overs to finish with 4 for 45.Ashwell Prince sped to 22 before failing to clear mid-on, then Stephen Mooredrove Onions to mid-off. Rushworth nipped one back to hit Karl Brown’s middle stump and when Onionsbowled Katich for a duck the game looked as good as over at 44 for 4, but22-year-old Clark kept Lancashire ticking over. With a top score of 32 in seven previous List A appearances, he started slowlybut hit ten fours and a six in scoring his runs off 62 balls.Gareth Cross aided the revival with 36 off 24 deliveries and Kabir’s blitz hadDurham rattled until a Stokes yorker took out his middle stump.
