County Championship: Kent spinners seal innings win over Northants
LV=County Championship Division One, County Ground, Northampton Bell-Drummond 300*, Muyeye 179; Russell 6-175Kent's spinners finally overcame a late flourish from the Northamptonshire tail to wrap up an innings victory at Wantage Road and climb to eighth place in the County Championship Division One table.
He was last man out for 59 to seal Kent's first Championship victory since the opening round of the campaign, when they defeated the same opponents by seven wickets at Canterbury. Taylor found an unexpected ally in Sanderson, who batted with freedom and rattled up a string of boundaries in their lively partnership of 38, prompting Kent to take the new ball and entrust it to their seamers.
Sanderson stroked Denly for a couple on the leg-side to bring up the 50 partnership - and the highest score of his 15-year county career - but he missed the opportunity of a maiden half-century, taking a swing at Qadri and edging behind.
