145! Under 150 but more than it looked like. Wakely as usual doing some damage.

[captaincolly]

Should add to our woes tonight.

If Short gets out early we can effectively add about 30 runs to the target!

[captaincolly]

2 early wickets and Short becalmed so far. Handscomb in at 4 - I think we'll struggle unless these two put on a big partnership!

[captaincolly]

And Short is out now! 32/3.
Scores suggest it might be a used wicket? If that's the case I'm not sure bowling first was a good idea.

[DiligentDefence]

2 overs of Cobbs slow bowling (I hesitate to say spin) certainly seemed to slow Short down.

[captaincolly]

4 down and they've managed to get the required rate up to 10 an over. Apart from that it's going well!

[Durhamfootman]

Handscomb is going to have to do this on his own, by the looks of it

5 down

the great leader in


Seems we've had the sense to rest Ben Raine for the CC, or at least I hope we have

[DiligentDefence]

2 wickets for Keough!!! It must be turning and very slow.

[Durhamfootman]

been 3 overs since we managed to score something bigger than a single

great leader gone

66-6 and Northants still have about 6 overs of spin available

when Short gets out early we have nothing left to win with

[Durhamfootman]

A four!



two fours back to back!

Handscomb on the charge

[Durhamfootman]

13 off the over

59 needed off 30 balls

Handscomb and Burnham need to go like the clappers from hereon in

[Durhamfootman]

or at least Handscomb does
