WHEN Durham start their Twenty20 campaign at Worcester on Friday night the action will be rather more frenetic than yesterday's attritional fare at Emirates Riverside.

Led by the dogged resistance of England Under 19 batsman Haseeb Hameed, Lancashire replied to 411 with 205 for four from 73 overs.

Durham will have to consider bringing in Paul Coughlin on Friday after he was unbeaten on 52 and 91, off a combined total of 84 balls, in two second X1 T20 matches at Edgbaston yesterday.

He will also add something to an attack whose inexperience was exposed under yesterday afternoon's cloudless skies at Chester-le-Street.

Graham Onions strove manfully to lead the attack but was out of luck in an opening spell of 9-5-9-0 and ended the day with only one wicket.

KP may have faded from the memory, but Durham were reminded that the other Petersen is still going strong.

It's a slightly different spelling and a less flamboyant approach, but Alviro Petersen, who has played in 36 Tests for South Africa, blunted Durham after a double strike by James Weighell.

The Red Rose was wilting on 21 for two when Petersen emerged to dominate a stand of 104 with Hameed, making 61.

The first bowling change came at 28 for two after 18 overs, but the next ten overs yielded 44 runs as Petersen showed his class on the way to a 94-ball half-century.

Hameed continued to get solidly into line, as he had done to survive the testing opening spell from Weighell and Onions, both of whom found rare life in the placid pitch either side of lunch.

Karl Brown was drawn into a drive wide of off stump and edged to Ryan Pringle at third slip. Then in Weighell's next over left-hander Luke Procter pushed forward and edged a much more difficult chance, which Pringle did well to hold low to his right.

The brakes came off as Brydon Carse conceded 25 in five overs and Barry McCarthy was unable to impress with the ball as he had with the bat, hitting two sixes in his 37.

Onions returned after tea to have a huge lbw appeal against Hameed turned down on 43 before the next one was upheld when Petersen stepped across to work a straight ball behind square.

The previous 12 wickets to fall in the match had all been to catches, ten of them off edges and two at long-on.

There was no further joy until five overs from the close, when Hameed fell for 74 when he missed a fierce pull off a Scott Borthwick long hop.

“Perhaps we should have tried it earlier,” joked Weighell, who added: “The pitch is a bit two-paced and it's not easy for batsmen when they first come in. The plan will be to go hard with the second new ball, which is due in seven overs. If we get a couple of wickets we will be in the box seat.”

In the morning Paul Collingwood fell short of his twin targets as Lancashire secured maximum bowling points four balls before the 110-over cut-off.

Collingwood, on 85 overnight, was ninth out for 97, but his hopes of a century and full batting points had already gone with his team on 375.

Resuming on 341 for six, Durham lost wickets in the day's third and fourth overs and had added only one run.

Weighell's edge to gully completed Tom Bailey's well-deserved first five-wicket haul in division one.

Carse gave Liam Livingstone his fourth catch at first slip and there was another wicket for Kyle Jarvis when Collingwood sliced a drive and was well held by Karl Brown at gully.

A last-wicket stand of 36 between McCarthy, who drove his sixes off Bailey, and Onions ended when the Irishman hoisted a catch to long-on in in Simon Kerrigan's first over of the day.

Durham's one-day opener Phil Mustard made only one in both matches as the second X1 lost the first and won the second of their T20 games at Edgbaston.

After striking 52 not out in a losing cause when batting at No 8, Paul Coughlin was promoted to three and thrashed 91 off 54 balls as Durham totalled 191 for five in the second game.

Callum MacLeod weighed in with 55 and left-arm spinner Gurman Randhawa took three for 20.
