County Championship: Nottinghamshire beat Northants by an innings and 25 runs
Dane Paterson claimed five wickets against Northamptonshire to propel Nottinghamshire to a victory by an innings and 25 runs on the third day of their County Championship match at Wantage Road.
Earlier Joe Clarke scored his second half-century of the season to give Nottinghamshire a healthy 97-run lead which could have been higher but for career-best figures of 4-24 for James Sales and four wickets for Tom Taylor. They made early inroads, taking two wickets in five balls. Taylor picked up his third of the innings when Lyndon James drove loosely to first slip where Ricardo Vasconcelos took a sharp catch. Steven Mullaney went quickly lbw without scoring.
Clarke had played largely fluently, sweetly timing the ball to the boundary, stroking 10 fours in four hours at the crease. But he had also played and missed on several occasions and his innings ended in ignominious fashion, when he flashed needlessly at a wide ball from Sales. With Hutton keeping up the pressure at the other end, the procession continued when Whiteman prodded at one just outside off-stump from Paterson with Clarke taking a good tumbling catch behind while Rob Keogh fell next ball when he was squared up, the ball flying to third slip.
