Steve Harmison has told the Mail on Sunday that his recovery from hernia surgery earlier this month is going so well that he hopes to be bowling again within a fortnight.Harmison admitted he has no chance of being fit in time for the Oval Test but he has a target of returning to action in time for Durham’s first one-day final at Lord’s on August 18. To give himself a chance of playing there he needs to be ready to face Surrey in a Championship match starting on August 13.He started running last week and was given the all-clear to resume more strenuous exercise after visiting a specialist last Thursday.”Things have gone well and I’ve been running at about 70% capacity,” he told the paper. “The next step is to build up to some ‘walk-throughs’ of my action. A final for my club against Warney and KP would be some way to make my comeback.”
