Durham lose unbeaten record

Alan Mullally returned from England one-day duty to help end Durham's unbeaten record in the National League.

League leaders Durham arrived at West End looking for their sixth win but Mullally uprooted Nicky Peng's off stump with the second ball of the visitors' innings to set Hampshire on their way.

And Mullally produced the catch of the afternoon when he ran 25 yards to dismiss England teammate Paul Collingwood for four off the bowling of Dimitri Mascarenhas.

That left Durham on 26-3 after ten overs in reply to Hampshire's 222-7.

James Hamblin weighed in with two wickets in the first of his five overs while Zimbabwe international Neil Johnson finished with 2-13.

And rookie seamer Chris Tremlett wrapped up the innings by bowling Nicky Hatch in the 37th over, leaving Durham 64 runs adrift at 158 all out.

Only number three Martin Love offered any resistance, scoring 39 off 54 balls before Hamblin trapped him leg before with his first delivery of the afternoon.

In-form Hampshire batsman Derek Kenway produced the innings of the match on the day he received his county cap.

But he fell four runs short of a second successive National League half-century before Robin Smith and Lawrence Prittipaul put on 58 in ten overs.
