1:29 AM IST, 8:59 PM Local Time: That's it. Durham get back to winning ways with a comprehensive win over Leicestershire. A solid-all around performance sees Durham win the contest by eight wickets. Leicestershire continue to struggle in this edition of T20 Blast as they suffer their fourth straight loss.
Leicestershire opted to bat first and they lost Stephen Eskinazi (0), Rehan Ahmed (9) and skipper Ben Green (19) inside the powerplay. Rishi Patel (29) and Ashton Turner (33) steadied the ship before both fell in a quick succession and it led to a mini-collapse. Leicestershire slipped from 100/4 to 119/8.
Josh Davey (37*) and Josh Hull (10*) stitched a brilliant 37-run stand for the ninth wicket which helped Leicestershire get to 156/8 at the end of their 20 overs. For Durham, Callum Parkinson (2/23), Matthew Potts (2/41) and Nathan Sowter (2/30) picked up two wickets apiece.
Chasing 157, Durham got off to a flying start. Their skipper Alex Lees came out all guns blazing and played some wonderful shots upfront. His partner Graham Clark also scored at a brisk rate as the hosts failed to strike with the new ball. Lees raced to his fifty in just 21 balls as Durham scored 85 inside the powerplay.
Lees and Clark put 114 between them before the latter fell on 23-ball 38 on the final ball of the 10th over. Lees kept going strong at the other end and scored 80 off 44 before getting cleaned up. His knock comprised nine fours and four maximums. Ben McKinney (16*) and Colin Ackermann (20*) provided the finishing touches to the chase as Durham got across the line with five overs to spare.
