Storm Dave halts Durham vs Kent County Championship match

Storm Dave blew away pitch covers and knocked over scaffolding at the Banks Home Riverside, leaving the wicket water‑logged and the ground unsafe. The match between Durham and Kent was called off after a 3.40pm inspection deemed one end too damp.

Durham had been in control before the weather intervened, with Emilio Gay’s century giving them a 221‑run lead. The cancellation means the teams will resume when conditions improve.
