Yuzvendra Chahal takes 4 for 36 and bowls Ben Stokes for 14
Yuzvendra Chahal's 4 for 36 included the wicket of Ben Stokes for 14 in the County Championship.
Yuzvendra Chahal took four wickets for 36 runs and dismissed Ben Stokes for 14 during Northamptonshire's County Championship match against Durham at Wantage Road on Thursday. The Indian leg-spinner bowled the former England captain in the 47th over with a delivery that found the gap between bat and pad.
Northamptonshire restricted Durham to 205 despite David Bedingham's 81. Seven Indian players featured across both divisions of the County Championship on Thursday.
Chahal's spell left the Durham lower order struggling against his variations. Stokes has faced Indian spinners repeatedly in recent international series.

Chahal's success against Stokes on a surface that traditionally favours pace shows that leg-spin remains a viable weapon in English conditions when the ball grips early.
