Apparently they have already dropped two catches!

Northants were 30-0 after 10.4 overs. Now I thought that after 10.4 overs sides had to be either 14-3 or 16-3, so it seems Northants are playing by different rules to the rest of us, which doesn't sound fair. If they are going to play the game, then they should play it properly, imo, and stop bending the rules to suit themselves

There should be a points deduction for not losing wickets and a further one for scoring more than 2 an over.

if it was us, there would be

doesn't help matters. do we know who the guilty parties were?

[captaincolly]

In the absence of Matt Salisbury, it seems that Bryden Carse (nice 77 btw) has been given the job of feeding the opposition early boundaries

I was hoping his innings would inspire a bowling improvement. Wrong again!

Typical.
A few spots of rain and the covers are on. One of those times where they'd play through the drizzle but not start in it.

Wrong again! It's still drizzling but they are going to start-although I think it's raining a bit heavier!!

Carse strikes straight away with the surprise delivery-the one aimed at the stumps.

[captaincolly]

Another wicket for Carse in his next over - I thought Bancroft was juggling the catch!
54/2.

[captaincolly]

All of a sudden there's been a Durham style clatter of wickets with Rushworth taking 2 in 2 balls.
He has 3 and so does Carse.
174/6.
33 overs scheduled after this one.

Vasconcelos 94 not out

I wonder how many times we dropped him before lunch?

[Durhamfootman]

That rarest of beasts at the Riverside....... a 7th wicket partnership developing...... 52 atm

hey ho... at least we've picked up a couple of bowling points to go with the couple of batting points. After today the heavens open and the floodings begin, so other than the bonus points everything else is academic
