Northants fought hard throughout day three after starting 190 runs behind with three wickets already Procter again dug in, but it was James Sales who dominated the stand of 53 as he took three boundaries in an over off the usually economical Timm van der on 35, edged through to Chris Cooke in the Netherlands international's next over and Rob Keogh, in sketchy form, made a nervy start before edging Fernando behind for six to leave them started brightly, lofting a couple of leg-side sixes while Procter ground on conscientiously, but the skipper's vigil was ended by Fernando switching angles and giving Cooke his third catch of the obdurate 50 stand followed between Zaib and Lewis McManus but Zaib edged James Harris to Sam Northeast at slip with the visitors still 17 in arrears, and Justin Broad chipped Van der Gugten's first delivery with the new ball to Ben Sanderson and Harry Conway added 74 for the last two wickets before Harris and Fernando finished them off, courtesy of fine catches from Kiran Carlson and Cooke again.A target of 66 looked modest but Sanderson had other ideas as he had Zain Ul Hassan caught behind for got off a pair first ball, clipped his second just short of mid-wicket and was close to lbw on his third, before Sanderson found a thick edge and the Australian was left to bemoan a rare double failure. Tribe and Northeast calmly reduced the target to 26 by the end of the day's scheduled overs, and the umpires sensibly gave them the chance to finish have another home fixture to finish the Championship block against Middlesex on Friday 23 May, while Northants host Gloucestershire on the same day.

Bowlers on top between Glamorgan and Northants

Rothesay County Championship Division Two, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff (day one)Northants 185 (65.2 overs): Procter 61; Fernando 3-28, Gorvin 3-36 Glamorgan 82-3 (28 overs): Ul Hassan 25; Conway 2-37Glamorgan (3 pts) trail Northants (1 pt) by 103 runs with seven first-innings wickets standingMatch scorecard Glamorgan struggled to 82-3 in reply to Northamptonshire's modest effort of 185 all out as the bowlers dominated a slow-scoring first day in visitors fell apart after being strongly placed on 99-1 at lunch, with Andy Gorvin claiming three top-order wickets and Asitha Fernando also taking captain Luke Procter's 61 was the top score by some way as Glamorgan's seamers again got their reward for bowling as a unit, with six wickets going for 35 in early afternoon. But Glamorgan in turn found life tricky with the bat as Australian star Marnus Labuschagne, playing his first innings of a brief two-match stint, fell for nought to compatriot Harry Conway (2-37). Both sides came into the game on the back of a first win of the campaign and Northants, who included Justin Broad for Liam Guthrie, got off to a solid start partly thanks to a generous helping of came up in the 14th over before Ricardo Vasconcelos (18) clipped Gorvin to Asa Tribe at was battling bravely despite being hit painfully amidships twice in the first session, and another half-century stand followed with George Bartlett as the visitors passed 100 in the over after had been little hint of the mayhem to come before Bartlett, on 20, edged birthday boy James Harris to van der Gugten had James Sales caught behind for nine and Procter, after striking 10 boundaries, eventually fell to Gorvin, caught down leg-side by Chris Cooke once the umpires had made sure the ball Lankan paceman Fernando joined the party, getting some movement with the older ball to remove Saif Zaib and Lewis MacManus, either side of Gorvin sending back Rob Keogh - all to slip catches as the pitch offered just enough to the bowlers. A brief eighth-wicket revival from Broad (23) and Harrison (24) provided token consolation before Zain Ul Hassan, Van der Gugten and Fernando wrapped up the innings in the space of three overs either side of the process, Sam Northeast claimed his fourth catch of the day while Glamorgan stalwart Van der Gugten reached 300 first-class wickets in his Hassan (25) and Tribe started calmly with a stand of 46 before Ul Hassan mistimed a pull shot and dragged a ball from Procter onto his much-anticipated arrival of the usually effervescent Labuschagne proved a damp squib as he looked tentative before edging the giant Conway to third slip for a seven-ball duck, with the South Australia quickie following up by forcing Tribe to prod to slip for 18. Northeast and Kiran Carlson, celebrating both his 27th birthday and his 100th first-class appearance, dropped anchor to leave their side marginally in front at the close.

The Australia international extended his tally as county cricket's leading run scorer this season to 706 runs with a magnificent 121 from 230 balls, including 18 boundaries, making Northamptonshire pay for a rash of dropped catches. Harris stretched his overnight fourth-wicket partnership with wicketkeeper Matty Hurst (59) to 125 after both were dropped off difficult chances on Friday evening on 28 and 0 respectively. Liam Guthrie's determined, probing seven-over spell accounted for Hurst before Northamptonshire's fielding again let them down, the slip cordon shelling three chances off his bowling, including Harris on 82. A hostile Luke Procter (3-70) finally accounted for Harris and saw the Northamptonshire skipper move past 100 first-class wickets for the county before Harry Conway (3-48) wrapped up the tail. Lancashire closed on 276, taking a first-innings lead of 38. Lancashire's seamers were relentless on a wicket still offering assistance, with Northamptonshire stumbling to 65-4 before rallying. However, a wicket in the final saw them finish on 140-6, their game hanging in the balance.
