 Liam Plunkett has once again performed headline grabbing heroics for cricket pacesetters Durham. The Teesside seamer took 4-28 as the Dynamos thrashed Surrey Lions by 138 runs at the Riverside to leapfrog Yorkshire and take top spot in Division Two of the Totesport League. Yorkshire maintained their 100pc record in one-day cricket with an impressive five wicket win over Somerset at Leeds but trail Durham on net run rate. Dale Benkenstein shared the plaudits with Plunkett by claiming 4-16 and contributing 63 runs to his side's total of 224-8. The South African shared a 100-run fifth-wicket stand with Gordon Muchall, who top-scored with an unbeaten 70 after Tim Murtagh (3-12) had ripped through the top order to leave the hosts tottering on 77-4. Coach Martyn Moxon said: "Winning becomes a habit and there's a belief now that we can do something. "We've set a pretty high standard and the key is to try and maintain them." PHIL Jaques cracked 84 and Michael Lumb hit 57 as Yorkshire Phoenix (213-5) cruised to a five-wicket win over Somerset with 32 balls to spare. Tim Bresnan claimed a career-best 4-25 off nine overs as Sabres were restricted to 209 for nine. Batting first on a good pitch, Somerset were never able to break free from Yorkshire's seven-man attack.
