Ben Duckett form continues in Northants win over Worcestershire

Ben Duckett continued his incredible run of form as Northamptonshire beat Worcestershire by 23 runs in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

Duckett made it 631 runs in nine days, across seven innings for his county and the England Lions, by hitting 86 off 75 balls at New Road as Northants set the home side a target of 320 for victory.

He was actually outdone by Adam Rossington, who made it to 87, while Steven Crook scored 52 as Northants made 319-7.

The biggest score of the day came from Worcestershire opener Tom Kohler-Cadmore, who hit 11 fours and a six in his innings of 119.

But, after they had made serene progress to 193-1, the rest of the Worcestershire order fell apart under pressure from Richard Gleeson, who took 5-47 including the last four wickets to fall.

Yorkshire remain top of the North Group largely thanks to Tim Bresnan, who played a starring role with the bat in their thrilling two wicket win over Nottinghamshire in Scarborough.

Bresnan took 2-24 as Notts made 251-9 in their 50 overs, having recovered from 46-5 thanks to 89 from Steven Mullaney and 52 from Dan Christian.

Yorkshire's reply took a similar path as they were reduced to 50-4 thanks to two wickets apiece from Jake Ball, recalled to the England squad earlier in the day, and Harry Gurney.

But Bresnan and Adil Rashid (41) put on 97 for the fifth wicket and Bresnan was still at the crease unbeaten on 95 when Azeem Rafiq struck the winning boundary with two balls remaining.

Sam Hain's century was not enough for Warwickshire as they fell to a four-wicket defeat at the hands of Durham in Gosforth.

Hain hit 13 fours in a fine innings of 107 for the Bears, while Tim Ambrose added 86 as they made 292-7.

But Durham were thankful to three half-centuries as they chased the target down with 14 balls remaining, including 56 from Surrey-bound Mark Stoneman.

England hopeful Scott Borthwick top scored with 66 while Paul Collingwood celebrated signing a new one-year deal with 53.

Captain Gareth Batty led from the front with 5-41 as Surrey thrashed Gloucestershire by 165 runs at the Kia Oval in Wednesday's most one-sided match.

Batty ran through Gloucestershire's middle and lower order as the visitors never looked like getting close to Surrey's mammoth target of 324 for victory.

Steven Davies, Rory Burns and Sam Curran all scored half-centuries for Surrey with Davies their top scorer on 79.

Sam Curran put on 89 runs for the seventh wicket with brother Tom (39), with Sam reaching 57 off 56 balls before he was dismissed by Craig Miles (2-56).

Only Hamish Marshall (56) provided any resistance for Gloucestershire as Batty and Jade Dernbach (3-33) dominated.

Kyle Jarvis and Liam Livingstone shone for Lancashire as they edged to a 24-run win over Derbyshire.

Livingstone made 98 as Lancashire scored 281-8 in their 50 overs, sharing in a 133-run stand for the fourth wicket with captain Steven Croft (68).

Derbyshire's reply was anchored by Billy Godleman, but once he was clean bowled by Croft for 91, the home side lost regular wickets and could only reach 254-9.

Jarvis claimed the last two wickets to fall and finished with fine figures of 4-31 in his 10 overs.

Wednesday's other game in the South Group saw Hampshire beat Sussex by nine runs and leave the Hove side bottom of the table and unlikely to qualify.

Hampshire scored 268-9 with opener Jimmy Adams scoring 92 off 97 balls and Ryan McLaren weighing in with 46 off 39 balls.

And it was McLaren who proved the most impressive of the Hampshire bowlers as he returned figures of 3-53, with a 125-run stand between Chris Nash (69 not out) and Ben Brown (62) coming too late after Sussex made a poor start to their reply.
