SOMERSET`S   Simon   Ecclestone  and  Mark  Lathwell shrugged off
their disappointing Sunday form to share  an  unbroken  stand  of
121,  which  earned a seven-wicket win against Durham at Chester-
le-Street, writes Tim Wellock.

Somerset were three runs  adrift  of  Durham`s   score   at   the
30-over  stage but passed the hosts` 205 for eight with 4.2 overs
to spare as James Boiling was struck for four  sixes.  Ecclestone
was   on   96   not out off 98 balls  with  the scores level when
Lathwell finished the match with a six over long on.

Martin Speight and Jon Lewis  both   made   half   centuries  for
Durham.
