Yuzvendra Chahal showed his class for Northamptonshire as he picked up 4 wickets against Lancashire to help Northants win by 67 runs. It was a terrific performance from the star leg-spinner. Marcus Harris was caught in spectacular fashion off Chahal, Weatherall taking a boundary catch at long-on, although Moores was dropped next ball at backward-point, playing the switch-hit to Keogh.
Moores continued to play aggressively. He chanced his arm at times but came down the track to hit Chahal over midwicket and made the most of pace-on by smashing 24 off Miller as momentum swung back Lancashire’s way.
He dispatched Chahal over the West Stand, but the legspinner struck twice in two balls, having Shetty caught at long-on and bowling Blatherwick. Moores still threatened but when he was run out, Chahal mopped up the tail and finished with four wickets.

Northamptonshire beat Lancashire by 67 runs
Northamptonshire allrounder Gus Miller struck a superb 115, his maiden first-team century, to set up a 67-run victory over Lancashire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup at Northampton.
Miller shared a 153-run partnership in 25 overs with Aadi Sharma (61), while skipper Nathan McSweeney hit 78, his fourth half-century of the competition as the hosts posted 347 for 6, aided by some sloppy fielding.
In the chase, Marcus Harris made 57 and was joined by Rocky Flintoff in a stand worth 85, but it was the in-form 17-year-old Joe Moores who threatened to win the game almost single-handedly, despite the mounting run rate. He made a magnificent 85 off just 59 balls before he was run out in a calamitous mix-up. Lancashire were bowled out for 280.
