County Championship cricket: Ben Stokes helps Durham to victory as title-chasing Nottinghamshire draw with Leicestershire

Ben Stokes helped bowl County Championship Division Two leaders Durham to an emphatic 153-run win at promotion rivals Northamptonshire.

After Durham got up to 261 in their second innings to set Northants a victory target of 204 at the start of day four, Callum Parkinson raced through the hosts' batting line-up in stunning fashion on his way to 6-20.

Stokes then finished the job when he had the last laugh on Yuzvendra Chahal, who had dismissed the former England captain with a wonder delivery in the first innings, but was caught behind for 10 with Northamptonshire dismissed for only 50.
