Surrey vs Durham report- Armitage and Filer efforts in vain as Wyatt-Hodge leads Surrey to victory

The England international hit 96 as the hosts won by three wickets with 80 balls to spare, this despite a List A best 5-59 from speedster Lauren Filer.

Earlier, Hollie Armitage recorded her sixth List A hundred, making 106 (123 balls, 14 4s) as the visitors posted 256-8, a total which looked likely to be enough until Wyatt-Hodge’s rescue act.

Reflecting on the game, Armitage said: "We're very disappointed with the result. I think if we look back we were 40 or 50 runs short in the end.

"We were teeing it up for a 300-plus total with a quick outfield and a good pitch, but then when you pick up quick wickets you think you are in with a massive chance. Credit to Danni Wyatt who batted incredibly well.

"When they start to change the pace and set more defensive fields it becomes harder to hit boundaries. Some days we'll continue on and get 300 and some days we won't.

"Lauren is such an impactful player and she is brilliant to have on your side, especially when she comes in and bowls that express pace and hits the stumps as much as she does. It is a real asset when we have her in our side opening the bowling."
