Result: Durham (211/3; Lees 78*, Clark 66, Harte 51*) beat Warwickshire (244/8; Ambrose 62; Carse 3/52) by 7 wickets (DLS method)
Durham returned to winning ways in the Royal London Cup with a comfortable seven-wicket (D/L) victory over Warwickshire at Edgbaston.
A solid all-round display saw Durham bounce back from their North Group defeat at Worcester two days earlier.
They restricted Warwickshire to 244/8 with tidy bowling before Alex Lees led the way with another unbeaten half-century, his second in succession, with Graham Clark (66) and Gareth Harte (51*) eased Durham eased to victory with 14 balls to spare.
Put in, the home side received a perky start from Ed Pollock who collected 22 in fours and sixes but was then smartly caught by Scott Steel, running round the mid-wicket boundary, off Brydon Carse. Steel then showed safe hands again, at deep extra cover, to remove Dom Sibley off Trevaskis.
Ambrose and Hain added 69 in 15 overs before the latter was bowled behind his legs by Gareth Harte. That was the first of three wickets in 23 balls as Will Rhodes chipped Carse to mid-wicket and Liam Banks lifted Ben Raine to long off to leave the Bears 142 for five.
Woakes injected some momentum with a 43-ball half-century but Durham fielded tigerishly, turning a number of apparent boundary hits into ones or twos.
They also caught like cats, with Harte pouching Ambrose at mid-wicket, Steel pouncing like a panther for a third time when Alex Thomson skied Carse, and Clark making no mistake when Woakes lifted Matty Potts to long on.
The DLS calculation – 211 off 36 overs – left Warwickshire badly needing early wickets but they took only one, when Steel was brilliantly caught at cover by a diving Sibley off Olly Hannon-Dalby.
Clark and Lees were little troubled in a stand of 93 in 14 overs, the former reaching his second List A half-century, from 47 balls, in the grand manner with a six hoisted into the Hollies Stand off George Panayi.
He then pulled a Thomson long-hop to mid-wicket and Woakes swiftly had Cameron Bancroft caught by sub keeper Alex Mellor but Lees skilfully shepherded his side to victory in an unbroken partnership of 79 with Harte.
Durham are back in action on Sunday when Derbyshire visit Emirates Riverside (11am start).
