Durham spinner Callum Parkinson ripped through Northamptonshire’s batting line-up, claiming remarkable figures of six for 20 as the hosts were skittled for just 50, their lowest ever score against the northeast county.
Chasing 204 to win against their Division Two promotion rivals, Northamptonshire lost all 10 wickets within 22.2 overs on the final morning of this Rothesay County Championship match at Wantage Road, losing by 153 runs with over two sessions to spare.
Matthew Potts again showed why he is the country’s leading wicket-taker as he built pressure from the other end with express pace and claimed two wickets for just 13 runs in seven overs.
