A Bairstow ton doesn't feel as inevitable as it did earlier in the season.

I'd take a 350 lead.

Bat as long as you want, AC. Preferrably all tomorrow as well....

Weather forecast shows light rain till 2-3 o clock.....

If Yorkshire bat all day tomorrow then they will be alot of shouting and swearing from the BH SO and PO regions especially if we are looking anywhere remotely like beating Notts.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Players off for rain in Yorkshire. I wouldnt complain if that does stop for the next two days

Getting jittery?!

I'm sure Notts will be amenable to a 300 run chase off 96 overs.

If both matches reach conclusion, I have Hants as favourites.

Nah, Notts and Yorks victories for me.

It's now raining at Headingley.

It's now raining at Headingley.

Play stopped well over an hour ago, weather forecast says no play till after 3pm if its accurate.

The man upstairs clearly supports Sussex. Not the most glorious of escapes if rain plays its part, but I think Sussex will take a draw whichever way it comes.

2.10 restart.

Just allowing the game at Trent Bridge to catch up!

[Alviro Patterson]

Northamptonshire 101/8 against Surrey The Curran Brothers

Edit: Make that 103/9

Yup they've taken all 9 to fall so far but Tom has taken twice as many as Sam.

Yorks lead by 146 runs with 7 wickets in hand and Notts lead by 141 runs with 7 wickets in hand. Nothing in it.

[Aidan11]

All 10 to the Curran boys now.

[Aidan11]

Chris Dent has a double ton for Gloucestershire.

[Aidan11]

Northants already one down following on and, yes it is one of the Curran boys who took it.


Tom leads Sam 8 to 3.

[haggishants]

Headingley and Trent Bridge on parallel lines...

Yorks 164/3
Notts 157/5

so Hants just nosing ahead....

Indeed. Unfortunately for us, the ECB didnt strip out the guts of our opposition to help us along, and not surprisingly it seems Jonny Bairstow is a little harder to get out than a man who was playing mostly for Cornwall this year. Or the bloke with a best FC score of 37

[Arthur Crabtree]

Read out. Just Root jr. and the tail to get. Edwards gets his second.

[Aidan11]

Hants are in a good position now.
