Match scorecard

Adams has scored 341 runs in eight CB 40 matches this season

Hampshire kept alive their slim hopes of reaching the CB 40 semi-finals with a six-wicket victory over Durham.

Jimmy Adams (86) and Michael Lumb (75) shared an opening stand of 150 to set them on their way to their target of 206, while Dale Benkenstein took 3-27.

Earlier, Durham posted 205-8 with Michael Di Venuto top scoring with 37 and Benkenstein making 33.

Hampshire close the gap on Group C leaders Warwickshire to six points, with four group games remaining.

BBC Radio Solent's Kevan James reflects on the game:

"Unlike four months ago in the first game between these two sides in the competition, Hampshire thoroughly outplayed Durham and deserved their victory.

"Michael Lumb's recent return to form will be giving the Hampshire selectors more of a migraine than a headache leading up to Saturday's Friends Provident t20 finals day."
