Durham Secure Nine-Wicket Win Over Worcestershire as Parkinson Takes Five
In a dramatic turn of events at New Road, Callum Parkinson produced a masterclass in spin bowling to claim 5 for 13, dismantling Worcestershire's batting order. Alongside a sharp contribution from England captain Ben Stokes, Durham exploited a shocking second-innings collapse where the hosts lost nine wickets for just 38 runs, eventually cruising to a nine-wicket victory to strengthen their position at the summit of the table.
