Durham showed they are no one-man show in the One Day Cup as Will Rhodes stepped up to maintain their unbeaten start on a day that also featured wins for Yorkshire, Sussex and Warwickshire.
Talisman Ben Stokes has been in top form since leaving the worries of Test cricket behind him, recording unbeaten scores of 108 and 73 in this competition, but lasted just one ball in Durham’s chase of Glamorgan’s 326-6.
It was Dan Douthwaite who raised the fears, removing Emilio Gay and Stokes in consecutive balls.
But it was a case of “no Stokes, no bother” as Rhodes donned the cape to post a career-best List A score of 148 not out. He and Kasey Aldridge put up 145 to lift Durham from 97-6 to 242-7.
After Aldridge departed, James Minto (30) and Rhodes took them home by three wickets with three balls to spare at 328-7.
Rhodes had previously taken 2-31 with the ball, but it was a day for the batsmen with Eddie Byrom (76), Zain ul Hassan (65), Callum Nicholls (45) and Douthwaite (45) helping Glamorgan set a challenging, though ultimately unsuccessful, total.
The victory left Durham third in Group B, level on points with Yorkshire and Middlesex.
Yorkshire ended Worcestershire Rapids’ unbeaten start in emphatic fashion, winning by six wickets with 56 balls to spare at Clifton Park.
Will Luxton recorded his second consecutive century after a 117 against Sussex on Sunday, reaching a career-best 126 as Yorkshire chased Worcestershire’s under-par 230 with plenty to spare.
Half-centuries from Dan Lategan (67), Henry Cullen (70) and Matt Waite (53) proved insufficient as the rest of the Rapids line-up failed to contribute with the bat.
Luxton, who is now the competition’s top scorer with 331 runs, took his team to the brink of victory, leaving four balls before George Hill scored the winning runs.
