Ben Stokes was consigned to spectator status on his first match day since being made England Test captain as Durham’s top order made the most of a flat New Road pitch.
Stokes spent the evening session with his pads on as the visitors powered to 339 for three courtesy of Sean Dickson’s third hundred of the season and half centuries from captain Scott Borthwick and David Bedingham.
Dickson became the second batsman to pass 600 County Championship runs this season, behind Derbyshire’s Shan Masood.
