Notts Outlaws fell to their second defeat of the NatWest T20 Blast campaign at Chester-le-Street as Paul Collingwood was the match-winner for the Durham Jets.
Going in at 111 for six in the 15th over, the 40-year-old former England T20 captain hit an unbeaten 44 off 22 balls to post a competitive 178 for seven.
He then used his skilful variations of pace to earn figures one for 22 in four overs in a 66-run win.
The similar bowling of Keaton Jennings saw him also get through four overs for one for 15.
Needing 101 off the last seven overs, the Outlaws were eventually dismissed for 112, Barry McCarthy and Paul Coughlin finishing with three wickets each.
Durham's total was far more than looked likely when Samit Patel's left-arm spin stifled the middle of their innings.
He took three for 14, but Collingwood's seventh-wicket stand of 37 with Coughlin provided real imeptus.
Durham took 58 off the last four overs, which lifted the hosts up to 178-7 off their 20 overs.
That was after Jake Ball had success with his first ball, which Phil Mustard edged behind, but then went on to concede 41 in four overs.
Riki Wessels, who made 97 in the equivalent game last season and an unbeaten 159 in the championship against Durham this week, top-scored with 38.
At 61 for two after ten overs it was down to Wessels and Christian to provide the acceleration, but after lifting McCarthy for six over long-on, Wessels holed out going for the repeat.
Regular wickets then fell as the Outlaws challenge fell away, eventually all out for 112 as the hosts completed a 66-run victory.
