Returning Stokes hits ton as Durham beat DerbyshireImage source, PA MediaImage caption, Ben Stokes's hundred was his 10th in List A cricketPublished7 minutes agoBen Stokes defied severe cramp to grab the headlines once again with a typically gutsy century on his return to competitive action for the first time since retiring from Test cricket three weeks ago. He helped Durham beat Derbyshire in the One-Day Cup.The all-rounder was playing his first List A game for his county for nearly 12 years and displayed all his hallmark grit as he battled repeated bouts of cramp - collapsing in pain as he reached his fifty - to drag his side to their target of 257 with a superb knock of 108 not out.Earlier Stokes went wicketless in bowling nine overs as Derbyshire's Martin Andersson's well-measured century formed the backbone of the Falcons' 256-9. Ben Aitchison's two early wickets pegged Durham back but Stokes got good support from Will Rhodes (45), Colin Ackermann and Ollie Robinson, as he hobbled past three figures to complete a stunning domestic return and seal a five-wicket win.More to follow.Related topicsCricketGloucestershireSussexLeicestershireWorcestershireGlamorganNorthamptonshireWarwickshireYorkshireCounty CricketSurreyDerbyshireLancashireHampshireSomersetKentDurhamNottinghamshireEssexMiddlesexMore on this storyNotifications, social media and more with BBC SportPublished8 June
