Willey then struck with the first ball of Durham’s chase as Graham Clark loosely guided a back-of-a-length ball to backward point, though McKinney was quickly into his stride.<\/p>\n

He twice pushed Willey back down the ground for early boundaries before taking two fours and a six off McSweeney’s off-spin as 16 came off the fourth over. The six, over long-on, thudded into the bottom floor of the Riverside’s Media Centre.<\/p>\n

However, excellent Ben Sanderson (2-26) struck with successive deliveries in the fifth over as the score became 41-3. He uprooted Alex Lees’ leg-stump before trapping Ollie Robinson lbw.<\/p>\n

And when McKinney skewed Zaib’s first ball of left-arm spin to backward point to fall for 33, the Steelbacks held sway at 53-4 in the eighth.<\/p>\n

McSweeney then had a hand in the next two wickets as the score fell to 90-6 in the 14th over. He had Colin Ackermann caught at cover and ran Aldridge out at the striker’s end with a throw running in from deep mid-wicket to prevent a second.<\/p>\n

Will Rhodes and Raine tried to recover, only for the latter to be bowled by Sales – 113-7 after 17.<\/p>\n

The target became 24 off the last two overs and 14 off the last with Rhodes on 29 and T20 debutant bowler James Minto at the crease.<\/p>\n

Nerveless Sales had Rhodes caught at mid-off for 31 in the last.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
