I didn't know about Stokes...but just checked and you're right...it's fcuking annoying - 3rd Durham wicket fallen Arshad was due in according to card but have sent Richardson in before him so i assume Stokes not far away. All teams want to finish as high as possible with Middx playing their last game this week Bears had possibility of getting up to 3rd which conceivably may not happen now due to Rankin factor. Durham 25-3 , raining at Headingley with Yorks 90-2. Still off at Edgbaston although not actually raining but light not good - thats 1/2 mile from ground. Haven't gone due to weather forecast!

Povey will always deny it but I'm certain that they're linked.

Surely playing competitively would have been better preparation than hours in the nets?
Further inspection at Edgbaston 15:10. Have taken Tea.Durham 78-6 so level
