Paul Edwards at Northants 97-1 v Nottinghamshire 151

This game is being transformed by Richard Levi, who has made a 40-ball 50 which has included four fours off successive balls from Steven Mullaney and was completed when he whacked Samit Patel over wide long on for six. Northants' lead is now 140 and they have nine wickets in hand, riches indeed. But the problem for the home side is that Ben Duckett (finger) and Alex Wakeley (facial injury) are both in hospital having the damage assessed. Scoring quickly or even surviving on this wicket has always seemed hazardous but Levi's hitting has transcended the conditions. He has hit the ball cleanly and very hard indeed; a pulled six off Luke Wood was particularly violent.
