Ian Botham gave a timely reminder to England's selectors by scoring a brilliant hundred in Durham's game with Worcestershire at Stockton.

The veteran all rounder hammered 18 fours in his 101 to boost his hopes of a Test recall.

He broke down after taking two Yorkshire wickets on the third day of their Championship clash.
