Durham Fall Just Short

Alex Lees anchored the chase with 44 off 35 (5 fours) at 126 strike rate, building crucial partnerships through the middle overs before being clean bowled at 107/2 in the 12th over.
Ben McKinney (26 off 20, 1 four, 2 sixes) and David Bedingham (26 not out off 21, 1 six) kept Durham in the hunt, but the asking rate climbed relentlessly.

Turning Point
The match turned when Alex Lees was clean bowled at 107/2 in the 12th over (ball 12.3). Lees had been anchoring Durham’s chase at 126 strike rate, and his dismissal left Durham needing 60 off 46 balls with the middle order exposed. Though Bedingham and McKinney pushed them agonisingly close, the loss of Lees shifted the balance decisively in Nottinghamshire’s favour.
