Kent’s spinners finally overcame a late flourish from the Northamptonshire tail to wrap up an innings victory at Wantage Road in LV= Insurance County Championship Division 1 on Wednesday.
Joe Denly claimed four wickets and Hamid Qadri three as the home side were bowled out for 369, despite an entertaining ninth-wicket stand of 70 between Ben Sanderson and Jack White.
The home pair both registered career-best performances in first-class cricket, with Sanderson hitting 46 before White, batting at number 10, hammered a maiden half-century from 68 balls.
He was the last man out for 59 to seal Kent’s first Championship victory since the opening round of the campaign - when they defeated the same opponents by seven wickets at Canterbury.
