Yorkshire maintain their one-day winning streak

Yorkshire 222; Durham 194 Yorkshire win by 28 runs

Chris Silverwood, needled by England's classification of him as no more than a "stand-by", took the chance of an appearance on Sky Sports to demonstrate his striking power by rocking the Durham innings with a spell of 3 for 4 in nine balls.

With Tim Bresnan helping to reduce Durham to 17 for 4, Yorkshire cruised to their third victory on successive evenings. Durham found Bresnan's wicket especially galling ­ Yorkshire had won his release from the England Under-19 party; Durham had asked for Gordon Muchall and had been refused.

Gary Pratt, later aided by his brother, gave Durham hope in mid-order but Darren Lehmann, the home captain, could play cat-and-mouse and the match was in effect over from the 19th over of the visitors' innings, Gary Fellows cleaning up with the last four wickets. Another win moves the Tykes to within four points of the Norwich Union League First Division leaders ­ the prospect of two one-day trophies will ease a little of the Championship anguish.

After the Lord Mayor's Show on Sunday, the follow-up was always going to be fraught so it was greatly to Vic Craven's credit that Yorkshire's occasional opener lifted a good crowd. The best tribute to his 59 runs came from the temporary scoreboard, which twice mistook the stocky left-hander for his famous captain, Lehmann, when posting the runs.

Craven greeted Danny Law's arrival in attack by lifting him for four, six, six off his first three balls but what might have been an exciting, if confusing, stand with Lehmann ended when Craven sent back his captain, Lehmann being unable to beat Gary Pratt's throw from cover ­ Pratt's 10th direct hit of the summer.

Nick Phillips found some turn and should have had Fellows caught behind when 14. The sixth-wicket pair, when Michael Lumb's power of stroke was added, put on 61 in the next 11 overs before Fellows sliced to backward point. Lumb was eventually caught trying to clear the West Stand and with all their specialist batsmen gone Yorkshire's innings tailed off.

Headingley continues to bubble. Yorkshire have called an extraordinary general meeting for 29 August at which they will seek to double their borrowing limit to £10m. The intervention of a major bank will mean that several recent moves, including the appointment of a new chief executive, will be on hold.

Lehmann is called up by Australia on Sunday and his deputy, who will be needed for the Cheltenham & Gloucestershire Trophy final on 31 August, will be named today.
