County Championship: Ben Allison's career-best knock helps Essex take charge against Northants
Ben Allison made his mark with bat and ball on a rain-affected second day between Northamptonshire and Essex at Wantage Road.
Allison and Sam Cook then struck early blows with the new ball as Northamptonshire struggled to 32-2 in bowler-friendly conditions before bad light called a halt. Allison, on 46 at the time of the second interruption, soon passed 50 courtesy of his seventh four and his career-best soon followed as a last-wicket stand with Sam Cook raised 39 before the latter was castled by Jack White.His first delivery saw Emilio Gay edge just short of point, the ball running away for two runs. The left-hander's reprieve was brief, however, as Cook's next ball trapped him plumb in front.
