ROSS Whiteley hit his career-best List 'A' score as Worcestershire Rapids went down by 133 runs to Yorkshire Vikings in the Royal London One-Day Cup at New Road.

The left-hander struck 77 off just 51 balls with five sixes and six fours as Rapids were bowled out for 212 in the 42nd over.

It followed Whiteley's 91 not out off 35 balls with 11 sixes in the NatWest T20 Blast clash at Headingley and his century in the LV= County Championship Division One match at Scarborough.

Steve Patterson did the damage for Vikings with 5-24 in 7.3 overs after Glenn Maxwell hit a 76-ball 111 in Yorkshire's 345-6 in 50 overs.

Ed Barnard picked up three wickets for the hosts on his debut in the competition.

Yorkshire skipper Andy Hodd elected to bat and shared in an opening stand of 61 in 13 overs with Alex Lees.

Barnard made the breakthrough when Hodd (18) nicked through to Tom Kohler-Cadmore at slip.

Lees (67) added another 61 in in 11 overs with Maxwell but gave spinner Saeed Ajmal the charge and was stumped by wicketkeeper Ben Cox.

Maxwell scored freely and gradually accelerated, going to his half-century off 46 balls and requiring only another 25 to reach three figures with four sixes and six fours.

He was given good support by Gary Ballance (28) in a partnership of 105 in 14 overs.

Charlie Morris returned to the Rapids attack and accounted for Ballance, who was caught by Ajmal at mid-on attempting a drive.

Barnard collected two wickets in consecutive balls with Maxwell caught behind off a paddle sweep and Will Rhodes (0) falling to the same combination.

Yorkshire were then on 236-5 in the 39th over but big hitting from Jack Leaning and Adil Rashid added 102 in 11 overs.

Morris claimed his second wicket in the final over when Rashid (41) gave Cox his fourth dismissal of the innings, while Leaning finished unbeaten on 58.

Barnard finished with 3-59 from 10 overs.

Rapids suffered an early setback when Richard Oliver (2) was run-out by bowler Patterson's direct hit on the stumps at the non-striker's end after he tried to regain his ground.

Tom Fell, Rapids' highest scorer in the competition last season, made 14 before he was caught at mid-on off Patterson.

Daryl Mitchell made a determined 32 but became the second Rapid to be run-out by Lees' throw from mid-wicket at 60-3.

Kohler-Cadmore (18) fell victim to a fine catch by Rhodes running back to long-on off Rashid.

Brett D'Oliveira played pleasing strokes and advanced to 42 before he tried to flick a Liam Plunkett delivery down to third man and was caught behind with the Rapids on 137-5 in the 33rd over.

Cox (6), Joe Leach (7), Barnard (0) and Ajmal (6) fell cheaply but Whiteley continued to clear the ropes on a regular basis until he holed out off Patterson to deep mid-wicket and was last out.

Rapids go straight into their next cup game at Somerset tomorrow (10.30am).
