Storm Dave halts Durham vs Kent County Championship match

Damage to the Banks Home Riverside by Storm Dave saw covers blown onto the wicket, scaffolding toppled and the ground closed to spectators for safety. Umpires found one end of the pitch too damp for play after a 3:40 pm inspection, leading to the match being abandoned.

Durham had been in control, leading 221 after a 335 first‑innings score and a 197 all‑out from Kent. The disruption forced the teams to pause at the midpoint of the game.
