Ben Raine established himself into the pantheon of Durham greats against Kent, as he took his 300th First Class wicket for the club.

He became just the fifth bowler to do it, with the wicket of Daniel Bell-Drummond sealing the deal on day two.

However, Raine admitted he was surprised that he'd passed the milestone: "I didn't know, to be honest with you. I went upstairs and everyone was shaking my hand, I didn't think I was that good to be honest with you so it came as a bit of a surprise.

"It's not something I track, it is nice though and it was really nice that the lads congratulated me."
