England captain Ben Stokes was dismissed for just 14 as he continued his return for Durham in their second division County Championship match away to Worcestershire on Saturday.
Pace-bowling all-rounder Stokes had taken two wickets on Friday's opening day at New Road in his first outing since England's woeful Ashes series loss.
But hopes of a significant first-innings contribution were dashed when he edged 20-year-old paceman Jack Home to second slip for a 14 made from 17 balls.
Worcestershire had earlier been dismissed for 308, with Home making a useful 63.
Durham reached stumps on 207-6, with David Bedingham contributing 83 and Graham Clark 48 not out.
Stokes suffered a freak injury when he was hit in the face by a ball during a net session while coaching academy players in February.
The 34-year-old, who suffered a groin strain during England's recent 4-1 Ashes humbling in Australia, had to undergo reconstructive surgery.
England's international season starts with a three-Test series against New Zealand at Lord's commencing on June 4.
