Durham v Worcestershire

Durham (180-3) beat Worcester (177) by 7 wickets

DAVID BOON steered Durham to  their  first  Sunday  win under his
command,    picking    off    runs   at   his   leisure   against
Worcestershire  at  Chester-le-Street  following  a   spectacular
innings by Martin Speight, writes Tim Wellock.

Boon   finished   on   49   not   out    as     Durham     passed
Worcestershire`s  177 for six with seven wickets and 5.2 overs to
spare.  Worcestershire performed  as  though  they   were   still
deflated by their  failure  to  win  the  championship  clash the
previous evening, and their inadequate total contained  only  two
boundaries until David Leatherdale hit five in the last six overs
in an unbeaten 53.

Speight and John Morris hit a  six  each  as  they  launched  the
Durham  reply  with  a  stand of 58 and Speight`s 61 off 66 balls
showed he is back to his destructive best.
