DURHAM'S luck with the weather ran out yesterday when no play was possible in their totesport League match against Scotland in Edinburgh.

Following heavy morning rain The Grange ground was saturated and after several afternoon pitch inspections all hope of making a start was abandoned at 5pm.

It was a big disappointment for the two coachloads of Durham fans who had travelled to the match hoping to see the team maintain their 100 per cent record this season.

Steve Harmison was not with the squad but is expected to play in today's totesport match against Sussex at Riverside.

In early May last year Durham lost at home to Sussex in the C & G Trophy in a match remembered for bowling coach Alan Walker having to play because of injuries, only to join the casualties after attempting a diving stop in the field.

Durham won the home totesport clash between the counties under the Duckworth/Lewis method, but lost heavily under floodlights at Hove after Shoaib Akhtar bowled poorly in what proved to be his final game.

Wicketkeeper Matt Prior made 119 as Sussex piled up 261 for four, while skipper Chris Adams made 81 in a 99-run victory for his side.

Durham face a tricky choice today in deciding which bowlers to leave out. Unless they go for an all-seam attack and leave out Gareth Breese, they will support Harmison with two out of Liam Plunkett, Mark Davies, Neil Killeen and Mick Lewis.

* Nick Knight's 25th one-day century - an unbeaten 122 from 125 balls against Kent Spitfires at Edgbaston - proved to be just enough for Warwickshire Bears to register for their first win since dropping into Division Two in the totesport League.

The former England opener, who retired from the international arena after the 2003 World Cup, hit 14 fours and a six in shaping a meeting between two of last summer's relegated counties.

Warwickshire raced to 279 for seven and squeezed home by 19 runs when Kent folded for 260.
