Have Northants and Sussex both bowled 5 wides at the exact same time? In addition to Northants giving away 6 penalty runs for slow over rate?

Seven off four balls...

Ouch. Two balls to spare.

I'm really not sure how we managed to lose that. Surely White was a better bet than Crook for a couple of mid-innings overs? Obviously the 6 penalty runs hurt but it should never have been that close.

I'm pleased the penalty runs is still in place... I thought that had been IPL'd

tough game for Northants to lose

very Durham-esque

Fast runs for Ian Bell...

Wonder if battingforbell is still fighting for the cause.

There’s no cause to fight for - just enjoy watching a fine batsman in the twilight of his career.

Not sure bfb recognised lost causes.

I think the jinx made Alex Wakely forget he had Graeme White in the side.

Azeem Rafiq has been spotted in Yorkshire colours.

Stokes is available for Durham! Just to rub in the players missing for Yorks?

No KW for Yorkshire.

Should be defending 200 nevertheless.

Doesn't join up until game 6 I believe (the Roses match on July 20th).
