Bumble insists the track is a bowler-friendly 'pudding', with a closer look showing that the playing surface is replete with iced buns and jam tarts, as you can see in the video above.

There were no baked goods on the pitch when Leicestershire beat Durham in a NatWest T20 Blast game on Saturday evening, live on Sky Sports - Ben Raine taking wickets and scoring runs as the hosts secured a six-wicket win.

There was no Ben Stokes either, with the the Durham all-rounder recovering from the knee surgery he underwent after picking up an injury in England's first Test against Sri Lanka in Headingley.
