Tom Taylor steadied Northamptonshire’s ship by smashing a phenomenal hundred along with skipper McManus who scored a fifty. Their top-order must put up a better show on Sunday if they wish to bag their first points this season. Ben Sanderson did a brilliant job with the ball, picking up three wickets in his 8 over spell, conceding 34 runs. Tom Taylor is an experienced bowler and will need to be accurate with his lines along with Luke Procter and Rob Keogh.
Sussex went down by 132 runs in their season opener against Durham. Skipper Tom Haines will be pretty upset with his bowlers as they failed to execute their plans properly and ended up conceding 427 runs in the first innings.

With this massive defeat, Sussex are languishing at the bottom of the table with no points and a net run rate of -2.640.

Jack Carson to be the top bowler for Sussex
Playing his first List A game, Jack Carson picked up four wickets. He conceded 83 runs in the process. This is something that the youngster needs to work on.
