DANNI Wyatt-Hodge's blistering 26-ball half-century set Surrey on their way to a thumping nine-wicket win over Durham at the Oval.

The England opener struck two sixes and 11 fours in her 74 (36), sharing a stand of 94 for the first wicket with skipper Bryony Smith (44 from 28) as the hosts chased down a target of 142 with 43 balls to spare to return to the top of the table.

The onslaught came after Durham fought back from 29-3 to total 141-5, Hollie Armitage anchoring the effort with 50 (49) while Bess Heath (27 from 18) and Mia Rogers (25 from 20) played eye-catching cameos.

There were two wickets apiece for Ryana MacDonald-Gay (2-16) and Tash Farrant (2-25).
