Durham Declares Ground Unsafe After Storm Dave Damage

Durham County Cricket Club has called the ground unsafe after damage from Storm Dave, cancelling play on day three of the county season. The decision came as the club assessed structural risks and the potential for further weather damage.

Strong west winds blew across the venue, with flags billowing and pitches affected, making play unlikely before lunch at CLS. Reports from Grace Road noted a fierce wind that disrupted ball movement and player safety.
