County Championship: Essex lower order rallies against Northants
Northamptonshire's seamers shared the spoils as they helped rout Essex's batting line-up and hold the visitors to 220-8 on a rain-affected opening day of their County Championship match at Wantage Road.
But when Cook fell for 31, it precipitated the first mini collapse of the day as four wickets went down in 45 balls, two of them to Sanderson and Essex went into lunch on 107-4 before rain prevented any play in the afternoon session. Cook found the ropes three times in Jack White's fifth over, playing some trademark backfoot punches and cuts. Meanwhile Browne also hit a trio of boundaries off Taylor's first over, driving sweetly through the covers.
Sanderson's return to the attack soon reaped dividends when Browne chipped to midwicket and Dan Lawrence was bowled through the gate first ball. Gay could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he pouched a chance offered by Matt Critchley who edged to the slips to give White his first wicket.
