Emilio Gay makes a career-best century for Northamptonshire as Middlesex suffer on day one at Wantage Road.
Northamptonshire opener Emilio Gay struck a stylish, commanding career-best 165 not out as the hosts took full advantage of being put into bat to reach 311-3 against Middlesex.
Middlesex's bowlers, who were punished after inserting Glamorgan at Lord's last week, stuck diligently to their task on a largely docile wicket with the Kookaburra ball. Once Procter fell to spinner Josh de Caires, Gay shared an 86-run stand with Karun Nair before the Indian batter played on to a delivery that jagged back from Toby Roland-Jones.The day was also memorable in that Northamptonshire secured their first home batting points of 2024 - a feat they did not achieve until 26 September last year, while Procter picked up where he left off after making 92 against Sussex.
