Harmison gives reminder to selectors with hat-trick

01/06/2008

Steve Harmison took a hat-trick as Durham beat Sussex by seven wickets in Division One of the County Championship at Hove.

Harmison finished with 4-75 as Sussex were skittled out for 212 in their second innings, with Matt Prior starring with an unbeaten 133.

Michael Di Venuto hit 60 off 66 balls as the visitors reached their target of 126 with a day to spare.

Elsewhere, Surrey look to be heading to defeat against Somerset at Whitgift School.

The home side reached 172-7 at stumps in their second innings, giving them a 52-run lead.

Somerset were earlier bowled out for 446 with Iain Blackwell smashing 158 while Justin Langer hit 112, with Jade Dernbach taking 6-72.

Elsewhere, Martin van Jaarsveld and Darren Stevens both hit tons as Kent lead Hampshire by 301 runs at the Rose Bowl.

Van Jaarsveld (133) and Stevens (127) put on a fourth-wicket partnership of 210, as the visitors declared on 431-8.

Kent limped to 130-5 at the close with Dimitri Mascarenhas unbeaten on 30.

Elsewhere, rain played spoilsport at Headingley with no play possible on day three between Yorkshire and Lancashire.

The visitors will resume tomorrow on 243-2 in their first innings, 155 runs behind Yorkshire's first innings score.
