Having won the toss and elected to bowl first, Ben Sanderson struck first on a cloudy morning at New Road, catching Dan Lategan weighing just two balls. The score became 20-2 when Procter hit Rehan Edawalat’s off-stump with his first ball. Libby and Howes then dug in on Highway 56-2 until lunchtime. But the Pierce vice-captain’s fourth half-century in Division Two of the County Championship was completed by Procter. Home skipper Brett D’Oliveira was handed a lifeline, dropped at second slip, but was trapped at third slip by Procter in his next over. Unfazed by the injury to wicketkeeper Lewis McManus, Vasconcelos took up the gloves and soon after play restarted, spinner Calvin Harrison took the key wicket of Jose, who found the cordon. Australian seamer Conway then struck after tea as he bowled one over and bowled Matthew Waite before Procter returned to lock Tom Taylor with a striker in the hoop. Conway bowled Ben Ellison before Procter completed his first five-run of the season with the wicket of Osama Mir. Cullen and last man Adam Finch (5*) then rallied for 50 for the last wicket. And although Northants departed after one over due to poor light, a lively exchange between home captain D’Oliveira and umpires Neil Pratt and James Treadwell brought them back in perfect light for another seven overs, resulting in personal losses for a shuddering Procter.
