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
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.
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.

Northants require a further 264 to win.
We need a couple of early wickets at least to exert a bit of pressure.
