Cousins sees off Suffolk
Northamptonshire were given a scare by Suffolk in the C&G Trophy, winning by one wicket at Bury St Edmunds.
Having restricted Suffolk to 128 for 9, the visitors made hard work of reaching their target and were thankful to last man Darren Cousins for his 17 not out.
The holders Somerset enjoyed an 87-run victory over a Yorkshire Cricket Board XI thanks to 104 from Peter Bowler, while Glamorgan recovered from 55 for 3 to overhaul Lincolnshire's 154 for the loss of just one more wicket.
In the County Championship, captain Ronnie Irani hit 101 from 76 balls against Derbyshire at Chelmsford to help Essex reach their target of 190 with seven overs to spare. The home side won by six wickets.
