Lancashire collapse hands Northamptonshire first win under Darren Lehmann

COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION TWO ROUNDUP: Calvin Harrison triggered a dramatic afternoon, which leaves Lancashire bottom of Division Two

Northampton (day three of four): Northamptonshire 238 & 273, Lancashire 276 & 165 - Northamptonshire win by 70 runs

Leg-spinner Calvin Harrison turned the game with a decisive spell of 4 for 32 as Northamptonshire fought back to seal their first Rothesay County Championship win of the season against Lancashire.

Harrison, on a short-term loan from Nottinghamshire, dismissed Marcus Harris and Josh Bohannon in quick succession after the pair had guided the Red Rose county to 116 for 2 – almost halfway to their 236-run victory target at Wantage Road.

That triggered a rapid collapse, with seven wickets falling for 28 to leave Lancashire, pre-season favourites for promotion, winless and bottom of the Division Two table.

Earlier, tailender Ben Sanderson blazed a remarkable 65 from 28 balls – his maiden half century and the second-fastest in the county's red-ball history – sharing a ninth-wicket stand of 81 with Liam Guthrie as Northamptonshire rallied to post 273 in their second innings.
