Northants 465 v Glocs 233-5
From a position of some peril at 56-4 Glocs have wrestled this game back to somewhere close to 50-50 courtesy of a couple of gutsy partnerships.
Northants had posted 465 thanks chiefly to Nathan McSweeney (117) and Saif Zaib (142) on day one and late order hitting from Harry Conway (21) and Liam Guthrie (52).
And a burst with the new ball which reduced Glocs to four down looked to have given them pole position in the game.
Thanks to James Bracey (72) and Graeme van Buuren (75*) they are back in the mix, particularly if GVB can forge a couple of partnerships down the order.
Jack Taylor has looked okay putting on 29 runs with van Buuren but more will be needed in the morning.
