SCORECARD\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fin Bean hit a sensational 102 not out off 57 balls \u2013 including reaching his middle-order ton at record-breaking speed \u2013 as Yorkshire dismantled Durham by 212 runs at Scarborough to move within touching distance of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup knockouts.<\/p>\n

Bean, batting at five, recorded Yorkshire\u2019s fastest ever List A century, off 53 balls, and smashed the previous record by seven balls in a 354 for seven total.<\/p>\n

The left-hander was backed by James Wharton\u2019s impressive List A best 84 off 76 balls as the Group B pacesetters set themselves up for win number five in six games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Durham then crumbled to 142 all out in reply. Jack White\u2019s new-ball seam returned a superb 3-24 from eight overs, consigning the visitors to their heaviest ever List A defeat as the wickets were shared around.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With two games remaining and Yorkshire sat on 20 points, four clear of fourth place and with a far superior net run-rate, it\u2019s difficult to see how they cannot be playing in at least the quarter-finals late next week.<\/p>\n

The target now must be to finish top of the group for direct passage through to the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

\"James<\/p>\n

Yorkshire, inserted, made a good start without taking the visiting attack apart. They saved that until the end! \u00a0<\/p>\n

The White Rose reached the halfway mark \u2013 25 overs \u2013 in their innings at 123-2, with Wharton and Luxton both in the twenties.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Openers Imam-Ul-Haq and Adam Lyth both fell having got starts on a pitch with good pace and bounce, Yorkshire falling to 81-2 in the 17th over.<\/p>\n

Imam was caught behind pulling at Ben Raine\u2019s seam for 22 \u2013 his lowest score in five One-Day Cup matches \u2013 and Lyth caught at deep backward square-leg for 37 following a top-edge against former team-mate Will Rhodes.<\/p>\n

Having reached 123-2 after 25 overs, Will Luxton and Wharton looked to accelerate, and did so for a period as they shared 88 in entertaining fashion.<\/p>\n

Luxton pulled Ben Raine for six over deep backward square-leg and Wharton also pulled with authority en-route to a 54-ball fifty.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Fin<\/p>\n

However, almost immediately afterwards, Luxton \u2013 on 46 \u2013 miscued the pace of Sam Conners to midwicket with the score on 169 in the 33rd.<\/p>\n

Bean, with a rare middle-order appearance, then played as well as anyone to maintain the momentum. He shovelled and pulled two leg-side sixes in racing to 50 in 33 balls.<\/p>\n

And Durham\u2019s attack had lost their way, as they did in the field too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raine yorked Wharton, leaving the score at 270-4 in the 43rd over and ending a 101 stand with Bean, who ploughed on.<\/p>\n

His second fifty, including four more leg-side sixes, came in another 20 balls as 174 runs came off the last 15 overs of the innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lyth held Yorkshire\u2019s previous record for the fastest List A hundred, off 60 balls against Northamptonshire here in 2016. The White Rose won by two wickets chasing 311 that day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s win was much more commanding.<\/p>\n

Yorkshire started brilliantly with the ball as Ben Coad and Jack White shared three maidens to start with, the former bowling Alex Lees for a duck in that time.<\/p>\n

Durham scored their first runs 23 balls into an innings which then crumbled to 32-4 inside 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Coad bowled Lees, playing back, with one that scooted through and didn\u2019t bounce as much as the left-hander expected before getting a driving Emilio Gay caught at second slip.<\/p>\n

The only real disappointment of the day was when Coad walked off the field immediately with a hamstring injury having bowled 17 balls.<\/p>\n

Further success for Yorkshire\u2019s attack came when Matt Milnes had an uppercutting Colin Ackermann caught behind and Jack White forced captain Ollie Robinson to loop a simple catch to Bean at point.<\/p>\n

And when George Hill forced Scott Borthwick to play on, Durham were 42-5 in the 14th over still needing 313 to win.<\/p>\n

Robbie Bowman hoisted Bess out to deep mid-wicket before Lyth\u2019s off-spin accounted for Rhodes \u2013 27 \u2013 caught at short third.<\/p>\n

The wickets kept coming. Number eight went to Bess, a sharp caught and bowled effort to remove Raine, leaving Durham at 103-8 in the 28th over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

George Drissell top-scored for Durham with a consolatory List A best 46, but he was next to go when he skied White to mid-on with the score on 131.<\/p>\n

The impressive White then trapped Codi Yusuf lbw for 21 to wrap things up in 36 overs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Each of Yorkshire\u2019s six bowlers used struck, with Coad and Bess both striking twice. Yorkshire face Sussex next at Hove on Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
