Olly Stone: England fast bowler Olly Stone has signed a contract extension with County Championship holders Nottinghamshire that will see him stay at Trent Bridge for two more years. This came two days after he powered his County side to a 145-run win over Surrey in three days with a match haul of 10 wickets.
