cricket, County Championship - Division TwoDAY 3 OF 410-12 MAYDAY 3 OF 410-13 MAY
A Ryan Higgins century halted Northamptonshire’s progress on the third day of the opening fixture in the LV= Insurance County Championship. Higgins put his stamp on a see-sawing LV= Insurance County Championship contest against Northamptonshire with an unbeaten 134 after he had arrived at the crease with his side facing the prospect of defeat inside three days. Northamptonshire, aiming for a first top-flight win since 2004, had claimed three wickets inside the first hour to reduce the visitors to 21 for four and still 44 runs in arears. All-rounder Higgins, without a Championship century in three years, then set about wiping off the deficit in a 77-run stand with Chris Dent (54) before adding a further 165 with Tom Lace (73). By the close on day three Gloucestershire’s lead had grown to 261 with four wickets in hand.
