• Players face two ECB charges of bringing game into disrepute
After 14 months of what has at times felt like glacial progress, English cricket is finally approaching closure over Ben Stokes, Alex Hales and the street fight in Bristol that led to the former being removed as Test vice-captain and stood down from an Ashes tour.
A two-day hearing by the cricket discipline commission gets under way behind closed doors in London on Wednesday, with Stokes and Hales having both been charged with two counts of bringing the game into disrepute by the England and Wales Cricket Board following the incident on 25 September 2017.
