At   Scarborough,   Durham`s   miserable  stay beside the seaside
ended with a comprehensive defeat, their eighth  in  the  League.
And  this time they could have no complaints about the pitch.

The   North   Marine  Road wicket reverted to type after the "re-
sult" track on which Yorkshire collected an  innings  victory  in
the  champi-  onship,  but  Durham`s feeble performance showed no
such improvement.

Of their bowlers, only James Boiling, who at  one  stage  claimed
three  for  five  off eight deliveries, failed to concede a half-
centu- ry as Yorkshire  built on a rampant second-wicket partner-
ship of 130 in 18 overs between Darren Lehmann and Craig White.

Lehmann hit a spectacular 77 from 60 balls before a late flur- ry
from Anthony  McGrath,  whose 51 from 26 balls brought his  five-
in-  nings Festival tally to 341, pushed the Yorkshire total past
250.

Only opener Stewart Hutton, who hit 46 from 50  balls  before  he
gave  Sunday  debutant Ian Fisher the charge and was stumped, of-
fered any real resistance as Durham crumbled.
