"Sam Whiteman struck his maiden County Championship hundred to lead from the front and help Northamptonshire cling on for a draw against Peter Siddle's Somerset.
Captaining the Steelbacks in the absence of regular skipper Luke Procter, Whiteman batted the entire final day at Taunton to deny a strong home side attack also featuring England Test spinner Jack Leach.
The 31-year-old Western Australian, reprising the fill-in skipper role he performed in March when he led the Warriors to their second consecutive Marsh Sheffield Shield title, finished unbeaten on 130 after batting for nearly seven hours."
