Wicketkeeper Ben Cox top scored with 89, while 60 from Nick Kelly and 77 from Ian Holland helped them to 289-8. After winning three successive games to top the table, Lancashire bowled first but Northants raced to 347-6 in their 50 overs. They were bowled out soon after for 280 in the 46th over as Northants claimed an ultimately convincing 67-run triumph. But from 203-2, aided by two wickets in two balls from Jordan Thompson, they were hauled back in to 271-9. After a partnership of 147 with Vansh Jani for the third wicket, Yates fell, but Jani was there at the end on 66 with eight overs to spare.
