Harry Conway and Ben Sanderson struck with the second new ball as Northamptonshire fought their way back at the end of the day one of their opening Championship game with Lancashire.

The pair snared three late wickets for just 10 runs in five overs to keep the hosts firmly in the game despite Josh Bohannon (90) and Luke Wells (87) sharing a second wicket stand of 132 and Michael Jones smashing a quickfire 71 off 91 balls.
