GRAHAM Clark and David Bedingham led Durham to victory over North Group leaders Lancashire by two runs in a Vitality Blast thriller.
The pair put on 109 to help Durham to a mammoth 218 for three, their highest T20 total against Lancashire.
Lower-order hitting from George Balderson, Jack Blatherwick and Chris Green almost took Lancashire to a famous win but Callum Parkinson's three wickets proved crucial for Durham.
Clark, who has now scored 171 runs in his last three Blast innings, pulled Luke Wood for six and captain Alex Lees pummelled Saqib Mahmood down the ground for four to take the hosts past 50 in the powerplay.
