    Stokes stars with bat and ball as Durham dominate Derbyshire Former England captain makes half-century and take two wickets to set up imposing position

    BBC Sport

    The Ben Stokes show rolled into Derby on a pulsating second day of the County Championship match between Derbyshire and Durham at the OurCoop County Ground.

    The Guardian Sport

    Durham’s innings folded with the appearance of the new ball, the excellent Ben Aitchison, Division Two’s leading wicket taker, picking up his second five-fer of the year against them. The teams took an early tea, a steadying brew for Derbyshire who had to face a Test-worthy attack. Stokes came on first change and made the breakthrough with his first ball. Derbyshire finished gingerly, six wickets down.

  3. Olly Stone took 6-44 as Division One leaders Nottinghamshire ousted Surrey for 162.

    The Oval, often the land of plenty, proved as much a minefield for Surrey as it had for Nottinghamshire. Olly Stone, whose constant threat has only been muted by injury, collected an outstanding six for 44, including Ollie Pope for a duck.
