Keaton Jennings scored two boundaries from the final two deliveries as Durham ran out final ball winners against the Notts Outlaws in the Royal London One-Day Cup.

Michael Richardson fell for a career-best 64 with nine required from two deliveries, looking like the visitors had secured a victory.

But Jennings had other ideas, sending a Harry Gurney full toss over the leg-side for six before cover driving the final ball to the fence to seal a dramatic win.

Paul Collingwood also chipped in with a crucial 69 off 65 balls after Durham were set a revised 252 from 37 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis method.

Notts had earlier made 274/5 in 42 overs after being interrupted four times through rain following Dan Christian’s decision to bat first.

Michael Lumb starred, making 105 of the visitors total to record a third straight century in this format.

The innings reached a crescendo with 48 off the last four as Samit Patel made 40 off 25 balls and Christian thrashed 57 off 43 before he was run out off the last ball of the innings.

Durham raced to 32 without loss after four before being halted by the only break in their innings. Gurney knocked out Mark Stoneman’s middle stump with the third ball on the resumption and quickly struck twice more.

Collingwood joined Phil Mustard on 54 for three and dominated a stand of 74 before the wicketkeeper was lbw for 45, trying to sweep Patel.

Collingwood swept to a 40-ball half-century by cutting Jake Ball for his sixth four and when Richardson pulled a Patel long hop for six Durham needed 105 off 15.

They had the target down to 62 off eight when Collingwood was superbly caught by Brendan Taylor at long-off for 69 off Patel.

But Richardson kept going alongside Paul Coughlin, with some exceptional running between the wickets turning singles into twos on more than one occasion.

The South African hold out three balls from the end but Jennings came in to finish the job with two superb strikes, sending the home fans into raptures inside Emirates Riverside.
