Saqib Mahmood claimed a hat-trick before Phil Salt and Jos Buttler marked their Lancashire returns with fifties in a five-wicket win over Northamptonshire in the Vitality Blast.
Northamptonshire lost their last four wickets in four balls to be all out for 177 as Saif Zaib’s run-out was followed by Mahmood bowling Ben Sanderson and Lloyd Pope before George Scrimshaw holed out.
