Hide AdLatham, making the first appearance of his second stint with Durham, said: “We have to stick to the things we do well. We cannot panic to reinvent the wheel at moment.
“We’ve just got to go out and try to play with some confidence.
“Once we get one win on the board hopefully we can build some momentum from that.”
On the big defeat, New Zealander Latham added: “Obviously Tom played a magnificent innings. He cleared the ropes with ease, but we did well to pull it back. In the end, that innings took it away from us.

Hide Ad“It was a pretty good surface and they showed that when they were batting. The surface probably did a little bit more when we batted.
“Unfortunately it was one of those scores when you need everything to go to plan and losing a couple of early wickets never helps.
“Their platform was set with only wicket down. Maybe we could have used the spinners a little bit more through the middle overs.
“It’s our first time out in white-ball cricket (this season). I guess the beauty about this competition is that the game come thick and fast and we have an opportunity against Lancashire to put things right.”
