Middlesex stun Durham to deny Stokes spot in One-Day Cup final

Ben Stokes and Durham were denied a spot in the 2026 Metro Bank One-Day Cup final as Middlesex pulled off a stunning, comeback clinch a first List-A final appearance for 36 years.

Middlesex appeared to be headed for a heavy defeat when reduced to 145-7 in the 31st over of their semi-final, chasing 255 to win - Colin Ackermann claiming 3-46 - but Luke Hollman's magnificent, unbeaten 83 steered the home side to a memorable two-wicket win.
