Ben Sanderson’s golden run with the ball in the Rothesay County Championship continued with his fourth five-wicket haul of the season, as Northamptonshire ran through the Gloucestershire batting line-up on day one at Bristol.
Although Sanderson later modestly called it his “worst five-fer” of the year in terms of how his wickets fell, he exploited bowler-friendly conditions and a hybrid pitch to return figures of 5-47 in 19 overs. It ensured the home side were summarily dismissed for 154 inside 52 overs after losing the toss.
It takes his wicket tally to 31 in just 10 bowling innings. He was ably supported by Harry Conway and Luke Procter, who weighed in with 2-54 and 2-24 respectively on a day Gloucestershire's batters will want to forget in a hurry.
