Storm Dave Halts Durham-Kent County Championship Match

Storm Dave washed covers off the pitch at Banks Home Riverside, leaving a wet wicket that forced the Durham vs Kent County Championship match to be postponed.

Storm Dave ripped the pitch covers at Banks Home Riverside, blowing a scaffolding and a sightscreen into the stands. The wet wicket made the pitch unsafe, and the umpires deemed it too damp, so the Durham vs Kent match was called off.

Durham had been leading after a 335 first‑innings total, but the weather halted the game on day three before a result could be decided.
