Stokes and Atkinson take wickets on county return

Ben Stokes returned with a wicket for Durham against Northamptonshire ahead of a potential reintroduction to the England squad for the third Test against New Zealand.

The England captain - who was dropped alongside teammate Gus Atkinson after breaking England's midnight curfew during an incident at London nightclub involving a ECB security guard and a Saracens rugby player - took 1-60 in 18 overs on his return to first-class cricket as Durham rued four dropped catches.
