Wigley claims career best figures
Tour Match
Northampton - Day TwoNew Zealand 363 (A J Redmond 121, B B McCullum 72, P G Fulton 57, D H Wigley 5-78) & 38-3 v Northamptonshire 214-9 dec (J Louw 82, N J O'Brien 60, T G Southee 5-42)
New Zealand paceman Tim Southee took 5-42 at Northampton to prove his fitness ahead of the third Test.
Southee missed the second Test defeat at Old Trafford with a stomach bug but took the first four wickets here and is in line for a recall at Trent Bridge on Thursday.
Kyle Mills (3-41) removed Johann Louw (82) and Niall O'Brien (60) as a thin-looking Northants batting line-up mustered 214-9 in reply to 363.
But home seamer David Wigley then had his say by taking three wickets for three runs to establish new career-best match figures of 8-81, as the tourists slumped to 38-3 at the close.
Cloudy
Southee took an instant liking to cloudy morning conditions, seeing off opener Stephen Peters and Alex Wakely and then returning after lunch to put himself on a hat-trick.
Peters could not get his bat out of the way and edged behind as Southee got one to bounce and follow the batsman and he then made short work of his fellow Under-19 World Cup graduate Wakely, who left one inswinger which hit the top of off-stump.
David Sales hinted at a more substantial contribution until he edged behind and Graeme White chopped on for a first-ball duck.
O'Brien reached an 86-ball half-century with six fours but went after one adventurous shot too many when he drove on the up and smeared a catch to gully off Mills.
Louw took over responsibility and was soon enjoying himself under sunnier skies.
He launched two leg-side sixes off Jeetan Patel and one over long-off from Aaron Redmond's leg-spin to go with two other maximums and seven fours in a lusty, 90-ball stay which brought him his highest score in this country.
Brendon McCullum summoned back Southee and Mills and it was the latter who did for Louw, who aimed another leg-side hit at a ball which was not short enough and edged on to his stumps.
Southee completed his third five-wicket haul by knocking out Richard Logan's middle stump and the hosts called it a day once Jason Brown had chipped in with a leg-side chip for four to save the follow-on.
Wigley
In 16 evening overs the tourists lost openers Peter Fulton and Redmond and finally James Marshall to Wigley.
Louw was the pick for Northants, with ball as well as bat, until Wigley had Fulton spectacularly caught at gully by sub Steven Crook and then Redmond lbw on the front foot.
Had Crook hung on to another tough chance, Wigley would - like Southee - have taken two wickets in two balls.
But when he had Marshall edging the final ball of the day to the wicketkeeper, the Yorkshireman had most reason for satisfaction.
