Having started their campaign with three straight wins, Lightning have been on the wrong end of results against Birmingham, Yorkshire and then last night Durham.
The home side put in an impressive effort to limit a formidable batting unit featuring Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone and Phil Salt to only 152 from their 20 overs.
Nathan Sowter, Ben Raine, Bas de Leede and Wayne Parnell claimed two wickets each, while Steven Croft topscored for the Lightning, who were made to rue a poor end to their innings, mustering only 18 from their final four overs.
Durham were always ahead of the rate in their reply. Michael Jones was the standout batter with an innings of 43 and was supported by another good knock from Ollie Robinson to secure the win.
