    The scoring moving along nicely. With the players we have, if they stay in scoring quickly will never be an issue...

    Could Northants chase a total of 250+ down? Potentially, but in a fourth innings (yes the pitch isn't that old), I can see our bowlers having plenty of joy.

    I'd be surprised, the way Henry was bowling in the first innings. It's not as if he'll be tired either

    223-6 at tea. The lead is 255. I'd like another 50 -100 on top of that.

    Think they should try and smash it out of the park for 10 overs max......then have 20 or so to do what damage they can before the close.

    All out 287 Billings 56

    Northants require 320 to win
  • Sussex cruising to an easy win with more bonus points than us too, thanks to the usual first innings collapse

    All set for a good day tomorrow. We need 7 wickets. They need 264 runs. Weather is cricket friendly.

    First hour will be crucial in my view.

    We need a couple of early wickets at least to exert a bit of pressure.
  • In the bag...
  • The likelihood is that Kent will win and Warwickshire will draw. This is going to make it very tight at the top. I’d been assuming that promotion was Warwickshire plus either Kent or Sussex. It could be that Warwickshire miss out, particularly as they have to play both Kent and Sussex. Interesting times.

    Kent closing in, should be a comfortable win from here...

    Well we've picked up a couple of wickets in the first hour but 205 with 5 wickets in hand is still obtainable given our traditional inability to remove the tail.

    115-5
  • 6 down, all going to plan. Nice to see other bowlers chipping in

    These two building up a useful partnership we need to break.
