Royal London One Day Cup

Yorkshire 328-4 (50 overs): Kohler-Cadmore 164, Pujara 82; Potts 3-69
Durham 186 (40 overs): Richardson 43; Rashid 4-47

Yorkshire beat Durham by 142 runs

Tom Kohler-Cadmore hit 164 off 151 balls as Yorkshire powered to a 142-run victory at Durham in the opening round of fixtures in the 2018 One-Day Cup.

Visitors Yorkshire posted a formidable 328-4 from their 50 overs, with India's Cheteshwar Pujara adding a fine 82.

In reply, Durham slipped to 22-2 inside six overs as Graham Clark was caught off Ben Coad (1-32) for nine and Tim Bresnan (2-39) bowled Paul Collingwood.

Adil Rashid took 4-47 to help quickly dismiss Durham for 186 after 40 overs.

None of the hosts' batsmen were able to reach 50, but Michael Richardson's 43 from 55 balls gave them brief hope before he was out, lbw to England spinner Rashid.

Yorkshire, quarter-finalists in 2017, were put in control by Kohler-Cadmore's career-best List A score, which included 22 boundaries, with seven sixes.

The match came on the day that Durham renamed their South West Terrace as the Paul Collingwood Pavilion, 23 years after he first arrived at the club.

Collingwood is the leading first-class appearance-maker and run-scorer for the county, with 11,777 runs in 218 first-class games.


Glamorgan 264 (49.3/50 ov)
Gloucestershire 265/2 (48.2/50 ov)
Gloucestershire won by 8 wickets (with 10 balls remaining)
Gloucestershire gained an emphatic eight wicket victory against Glamorgan in their opening game in the Royal London Cup, as they easily chased down 265 with 10 balls remaining. Chris Dent and George Hankins, in only his fourth List A game, laid the foundation with a rousing opening partnership of 147 in 25 overs, Dent scoring 80, and Hankins a career-best 85. Benny Howell's unbeaten half-century then ensured there would be no relapse.
Gloucestershire were far superior throughout the day, as their bowlers stuck to their task by taking pace off the ball, and also restricting Glamorgan by allowing them to score only 63 runs, and to lose 6 wickets in the process, in the final ten overs.
When Glamorgan bowled, Michael Hogan and Graham Wagg apart, the other bowlers - notably Marchant De Lange - bowled far too short and the result was an avalanche of early boundaries.
Glamorgan' innings had been built around a 98- run partnership between Shaun Marsh and Colin Ingram, after Nick Selman had struck a composed 32, before he nicked Chris Liddle to the wicketkeeper from a ball that probably would have been called a wide.
Marsh and Ingram then settled into their productive partnership at five runs an over, before Ingram, leading Glamorgan for the first time in his new role as one day captain, pushed too early at Danny Worrall's medium pace to give short cover a simple catch.
Marsh appeared set for a big innings, before Worrall found some extra bounce and forced the Australian batsman to edge a lifting delivery to the wicketkeeper. Chris Cooke and David Lloyd then added a useful 75 for the fifth wicket, but from 239 for 5, Glamorgan lost their way, losing their last 5 wickets for 26, and were all out for 264 with 2 balls remaining.
With Gloucestershire needing to score at 5.3 runs an over, Hankins and Dent set off at a furious pace, with Hankins, a 21-year-old product of Millfield School, striking de Lange for three fours in his second over. Dent supported him well, but the Gloucestershire captain was dropped from a difficult caught and bowled chance to Timm Van Der Gugten, and then from a skier as Cooke and Lloyd left the ball for each other.
The opening pair quickly shared a 100- run partnership and such was their domination, that 15 fours were struck in the first 16 overs. Dent was eventually dismissed, when Wagg, after bowling four overs of seam, reverted to spin and his fifth ball was struck to fe Lange on the long on boundary.
With 39 needed, Hankins' excellent innings ended when he was leg before to Andrew Salter's off spin, but Benny Howell saw Gloucestershire home with an undefeated 68 from 81 balls.

Surrey 129 (35.2 overs): S Curran 30; C Overton 4-27, Trego 2-23
Somerset 131-2 (21.3 overs): Myburgh 75*, Hildreth 35*
Somerset beat Surrey by eight wickets

Paceman Craig Overton produced his best limited-overs figures as Somerset beat last season's losing One-Day Cup finalists Surrey by eight wickets.

Overton took 4-27 as the home side were skittled for just 129 in 35.2 overs.

Surrey found themselves 12-3 inside the first four overs at The Oval and Sam Curran's 30 was their highest score.

Curran took two wickets at the start of the Somerset reply but Johann Myburgh's 75 not out off 65 balls led them to 131-2 in the 22nd over.

Myburgh shared an unbroken partnership with James Hildreth (35 not out) of 96 in 16 overs.

Surrey were struggling from the moment 19-year-old debutant opener Will Jacks drove a catch to cover in the second over of their innings and departed for three.

Overton was well supported by Peter Trego (2-23) and Lewis Gregory (2-23) and a 29-run partnership between Ben Foakes (21) and Rory Burns (17) proved to be the biggest of the innings.

Curran's dismissal of Steven Davies and Trego in the space of three balls offered a glimmer of hope to Surrey, but it was soon snuffed out as Myburgh raced to a run-a-ball half-century.

He hit five fours in the space of two overs following the lunch interval, and 13 in all, but it was Hildreth who put a ball from Stuart Meaker away through the covers to see Somerset home with 28.3 overs to spare.
