Minor Counties Championship Round Up

A day featuring no fewer than 11 lbw decisions saw Cambridgeshire gain the upper hand over Northumberland at Wisbech. Bowlers dominated throughout, with Cambridgeshire struggling past the 50-over watershed on 95 for six. Chris Jones (29) and Ben Potter (38 not out) lifted them to 160 for seven declared off 67 overs, and it was then Northumberland's turn to find runs hard to come by. They scored at less than two an over in closing the opening day on 113 for nine off 65 overs - seven of their nine dismissals down to lbw awards.
