Durham, Northants, Leicestershire & Birmingham Bears claim T20 Blast North Group victories, while Somerset & Gloucestershire win in South Group.
Durham took top honours on a day of six more T20 Blast group games by upsetting North leaders Lancashire - but Somerset also enjoyed success to go top in the South.
In the day's only other game in the South, Gloucestershire won the meeting of two teams at the wrong end of the table by beating Kent at Canterbury.Clark and Bedingham laid the platform for Durham, hitting four sixes each in a 109-run stand asDurham then took wickets at regular intervals, spearheaded by an unbelievable caught-and-bowled from Paul Coughlin to remove Matty Hurst and three wickets for Lancashire old boy Callum Parkinson.
But, although Bears old boy Ethan Brookes hit 42, his joint highest T20 score, and skipper Brett D'Oliveira made 34, the hosts finished short on 132-7 - chiefly stemmed by Ben Sanderson's 3-16.A 93 stand between Dan Mousley and Sam Hain helped the Bears to a seven-wicket win despite Derbyshire opener David Lloyd's 50.Opener Rishi Patel top-scored with 64 off 47 balls as the Foxes were bowled out for 166 with a ball to spare.
The Foxes jump into the North Group’s top four, while Yorkshire are seventh, having now won only three of their first six games.Will Smeed hit five sixes and nine fours as he passed 50 in T20 cricket for the 17th time in his careerThe opener smashed nine fours and five sixes at Taunton before he was yorked by Dan Douthwaite – part of a middle-order collapse as Somerset lost five wickets for 15, slumping to 123-7.
