Scorecard

Ben Sanderson took his third five-wicket haul in four innings as wickets tumbled between Northants and Sussex.

Three wickets in two overs saw the hosts slip to 30-4 and they were 67-7 at lunch, with only opener Tom Haines and Tom Clark reaching double figures.

Jack Carson and Henry Crocombe added 99 for the ninth wicket as Sussex reached 175, with seamer Sanderson taking 5-45.

In reply all four home bowlers took a wicket after tea as Northants closed on 91-4, trailing by 84 runs.

That sealed a terrific day for Sussex bowlers Carson, 20, and Crocombe, 19 – the former’s 52 his maiden first-class half-century, while Crocombe’s unbeaten 46 was also a highest first-class score as they salvaged their side’s first innings.

Northants’ Sanderson, meanwhile, has three consecutive five-fors against Sussex and has taken 37 wickets against them in just seven meetings.
