Stokes stars as Durham thump Derbyshire to lift Championship promotion hopes

Ben Stokes starred again with bat and ball as Durham boosted their Rothesay County Championship promotion hopes with a crushing 338-run win at Derbyshire with a day to spare.

The former England captain followed up his half-century and two wickets in the first innings by making an unbeaten 66 before taking 5-17 as Derbyshire were skittled out for 84 while chasing an unlikely 423 for victory.
