Delayed start at Northants. Getting underway at 7pm but it's still 20 overs per side.

hows the weather looking?

hows the weather looking?

BBC forecast is for a 58% chance of light showers at 7 but then dropping to 18% at 8 and 9% at 9.

Northants have we the toss and are bowling. Pringle and Wood in for Weighell and Trevaskis (ill) I think I'd have had Wood in for Davies, wouldn't weaken the lower order batting and we'd have the extra bowling option in case someone has a shocker.

I wouldn't bowl Woody in a million years... not in this game

[Durhamfootman]

fast start

[Durhamfootman]

Clark holes out, presumably. Colly in

Especially after not playing for a while. Northants have a very dangerous looking batting lineup too.

[Durhamfootman]

Notts in a good position to post a big old score against Yorks

[Durhamfootman]

Leics look in a bit of trouble against Worcs

Lancs doing better

[Durhamfootman]

we're wobbling a little

things have slowed down and Latham and Colly are out a few balls apart

fortunately..... Poynter has been sent in

so we can all rest easy

[captaincolly]

Threatening to have a wobble here - Latham and Colly both out with the score on 76 so the middle order is under pressure.

last 5 overs the rate has dropped to 7

The batting does look fragile outside the top 3 apart from Smith.

[Durhamfootman]

overall our rate has dropped from 10 to 7.5

seeing the spinner off, I suppose, which is fair enough, as long as we can up the rate when he has finished this final over
