Keogh stars with ton as Northants make Bears toil

Rob Keogh's first century since the opening game of the season led the Northamptonshire run glut against Warwickshire at Wantage Road.The right-hander shared a fifth-wicket stand of 161 with Josh Cobb after Emilio Gay had caressed his way to 70 in the morning session, later supplemented by an unbeaten 57 from Lewis McManus.

Ricardo Vasconcelos, in his first game back from injury, did not cash in on his decision to bat first after winning the toss, making only 5 before driving loosely at Henry Brookes to be caught behind. Thereafter, the morning was dominated by Gay's stylish innings. The young left-hander was beautifully still at the crease and compact in defence but, with a hundred in the offing, lunch beckoning and having just pulled Nathan McAndrew for successive fours, Gay tried the shot a third time to a straighter bumper and only succeeded in finding the safe hands of Matt Lamb at fine leg.

Keogh - all timing and elegance - peppered the mid-off and cover boundaries in racing to 50 at quicker than a run a ball with 11 fours, while Cobb - mixing defence with brutal ball striking - matched his partner's boundary count but took 25 balls more.
