Veteran seamer Keith Arnold looks ruefully towards the heavens as torrential rain denied him the chance to make his 200th Minor Counties Championship appearance for Oxfordshire in their clash against Devon.

The third day's play at Banbury went the same way as the first two after an overnight deluge left the ground unplayable - and the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled.

Now 'Arnie', who needs another 11 victims to become Oxon's all-time leading wicket-taker, will look to reach his double century of appearances when Oxfordshire take on Wiltshire at Challow & Childrey on June 22-24.
