Durham 228/8 Sussex 229/6
Delray Rawlins and his Sussex teammates maintained their push to reach the knockout stage of the Royal London Cup with a four-wicket win over Durham at Seat Unique Riverside as skipper Cheteshwar Pujara steered his side home in a nervy chase of 229.
The visitors were able to restrict Durham to 228 for eight from their 50 overs courtesy of three wickets from James Coles, while Aristides Karvelas and Bradley Currie claimed two wickets, and Rawlins grabbed the other.
Sussex began their chase in a confident fashion as Orr and Tom Alsop eased their way into a rhythm. The Sussex openers shared a stand of 94 before Durham made the breakthrough as Alsop was caught behind miscuing a reverse sweep.
Harrison Ward's was dismissed playing a drive straight, while Rawlins was dismissed for 13.
Pujara held the key for Sussex in the closing overs as Durham dried up the runs amid tight bowling.
The visitors were forced to work the total off in singles as boundaries were at a premium, taking the game into a final over when five were required. Coles took the drama out of the equation by smashing a boundary straight down the ground to secure the win.
