A sublime century from Ed Barnard and vital knocks from Kai Smith and Michael Booth led Warwickshire to a one-wicket win over Durham in a Rothesay County Championship thriller.
Warwickshire started well in the morning as Alex Davies looked in good touch for his 50, but his departure led to a mini-collapse before lunch, with the visitors losing four wickets for nine runs at the hands of Ben Raine and Matthew Potts.
However, Warwickshire had the perfect blend of experience and youth in the form of Smith and Barnard, who combined brilliantly for a partnership worth 147 to well and truly take the wind out of Durham’s sails.
Before the lower order combined to see the Bears home as Ethan Bamber smashed a six down the ground with the scores level to seal the victory.
