Vass shines but Northants losse

Laurie Evans smashed 68 runs off 41 balls, including nine boundaries, to guide Warwickshire to a first FL t20 win of 2012 against Northamptonshire.
 After winning the toss, Northants hit 149 for four with Australian Cameron White top-scoring with 60 not out.

The Bears' run chase started badly with Rikki Clarke bowled for a duck in the first over at Edgbaston by Jack Brooks.
Sri Lanka's Chaminda Vaas took two wickets finishing with 4 overs 2 for 26 before Evans put on a 67 partnership with Chris Woakes.
Northants are still looking for their first win of the season and their score was restricted by tight bowling from Steffan Piolet (0-19), New Zealand's Jeetan Patel (1-24) and Woakes (1-26).
