Neesham had to defend just six in the final over but seemed to have bowled two wides and a no-ball even after taking two wickets, including Tim David, leaving Lancashire needing three off the final ball.
Neesham then bowled a wide to give the batsmen a single, then gave a no-ball full toss to give Lancashire a two-wicket win. Chris Lynn was unwell and could not play for Northamptonshire. Saif Zaib, who came in his place, scored an unbeaten 57 off 41 balls to take the team 6-153 on the pitch used at Old Trafford.
David claimed his first wicket in the T20 Blast when he bowled Neesham for three in the 16th over and dealt a big blow to the Northamptonshire’ innings. While chasing, David’s three big sixes brought the home team closer to victory.
