County Championship: Northants bowled out by Middlesex at Northwood
Middlesex's pace attack shared the honours as they bowled out fellow strugglers Northamptonshire for 219 on the opening day at Merchant Taylors' School.
Ricardo Vasconcelos was a case-in-point when shortly after finding the boundary for the third time he feathered one from Higgins through to wicketkeeper John Simpson. Middlesex's breakthrough came when Josh de Caires was thrown the ball for the obligatory spinner's over before lunch and, fresh from his career best 7-144 against Hampshire a fortnight ago, he promptly beat Gay's tentative defensive prod to trap him on the crease.
Sam Whiteman nicked Higgins to the recalled Stephen Eskinazi at slip, the catcher immediately leaving the field. News came later that Middlesex's white-ball skipper had suffered a bruised finger and he may now bat lower down the order than originally planned. The drop proved costly as McManus proved a good foil for the more expansive Zaib, who drove the ball more convincingly than his teammates further up the order.
