National Counties Trophy review - Appleby century breaks Northumberland duck
Northumberland ended a six-year wait for a National Counties Trophy win thanks to a century from opener Alasdair Appleby which took them to a three wickets win over Lincolnshire in the first county match staged at Allendale. Northumberland had lost ten consecutive games in the competition since they beat Cambridgeshire in May 2016 but Appleby's first century in the Trophy helped them break the drought.
