Ben Stokes sent down several overs on Saturday for Durham as he continue his return to match fitness

Ben Stokes is fit and back bowling.

Click on the video above to watch Stokes bowling for the first time after his return from a knee injury.

Stokes bowled 14 wicketless overs for Durham on day one of their Specsavers County Championship match against Lancashire at Southport, conceding 37 runs.

But he could and should have had a wicket, with Paul Collingwood surprisingly the guilty party when dropping Haseeb Hameed at first slip. It didn't prove too costly though with Hameed soon falling for 10 as Lancashire were bowled out for 204.
