Duke sets record as Yorkshire breeze in

YORKSHIRE wicketkeeper Harry Duke took six catches to set a List A record for the county as they thrashed Middlesex to cement their status as Metro Bank One Day Cup Group B front-runners.

Three of Duke's dismissals came off the bowling of Matt Milnes, who took four for 29 after Ben Coad, bowling unchanged to finish with three for 26, had wrecked Middlesex's top order at Radlett.

The home side, who began the day level on points with their opponents, could not get to grips with Yorkshire's relentless seam attack on a pitch with variable bounce, registering the ground’s lowest List A total as they were rolled for 129 in 31 overs.

Yorkshire opener Imam-ul-Haq maintained his excellent form in the tournament, hitting a stylish unbeaten 54 from 66 balls as the White Rose coasted to victory with 23 overs to spare, despite Henry Brookes' spell of three for 17.

Jack White set the tone after Middlesex had won the toss and surprisingly chosen to bat first, his third delivery spitting up at Josh de Caires’ elbow and deflecting back onto the stumps.
