Sam Whiteman hits 79 but relegation-bound Northamptonshire are again pointless after being bowled out for 232 by Lancashire.
Sam Whiteman passed 50 for the fourth time in County Championship cricket this season but Northamptonshire again failed to register a batting point on day one against Lancashire at Wantage Road.
After Northants opener Hassan Azad was pinned lbw playing no shot in a probing opening spell from Tom Bailey, Whiteman was at the crease early. Young opener Gay was looking to recapture his form after a poor One-Day Cup campaign, having made 144 and 61 against Lancashire in Manchester in July. Whiteman resumed after lunch with more intent, sending three deliveries from one Blatherwick over to the fence.
