County Championship: James Vince puts Hampshire on top at Northampton
James Vince's classy knock of 186 guided Hampshire into a commanding position against Northamptonshire on a stop-start second day of their County Championship match at Wantage Road.
A spell of three wickets in five deliveries - one for Kyle Abbott and two for James Fuller - left the hosts deep in trouble, with Abbas picking up another as they clambered to 95-5 at stumps. Brown, his replacement at the crease, was almost cut in half by another beauty from Sanderson and he rode his luck by surviving a strong leg before appeal, as well as miscuing a pull off White that fell to safety.
Despite eventually abandoning that pursuit, the pair put together a 125 partnership before Rob Keogh pinned Brown in front for a pugnacious 55. That left Northamptonshire to face 43 overs and Abbas looked impatient to make inroads, his first delivery nipping through to trap Vasconcelos in front.
