CRIK:Lynn, McSweeney star for Northamptonshire in Blast

Chris Lynn and Nathan McSweeney both played stellar knocks as Northamptonshire beat Gloucestershire by seven wickets in the Vitality Blast.

The Australians starred in Northamptonshire's third straight win which took them top of the Central and West Group.

James Sales took 5-21 to help restrict Gloucestershire to 9-164, with Ben Charlesworth striking three sixes in his 49.

But Lynn and McSweeney set about the visitors' attack in reply.

Lynn, who plays for Adelaide Strikers in the Big Bash League, struck five sixes in a 36-ball 69.

McSweeney, who plays for South Australia in the Shield and one-day Cup but for Brisbane Heat in the BBL, hit 53, clearing the ropes twice.

In Cardiff, Glamorgan beat Somerset by seven wickets for their first Blast win of the season.
