Northampton Town manager Chris Wilder was always going to get approaches because of the success he's had this season, I'm just surprised that it might be Charlton that he'll choose, because they have so many problems behind the scenes.

But Wilder has already been linked with Bolton, and if he doesn't go to Charlton there will be a whole stream of teams who will be keen to sign him up.

Northamptonshire got themselves back into the game yesterday evening with six wickets in the final session but they remain 313 runs behind - it would have to be a record run-chase for Northants against Leicestershire to win from here

But whether we’ll get any more cricket in this game remains to be seen. Today’s forecast is awful with heavy rain forecast throughout the day. Tomorrow is only marginally better so Northants could yet escape with a draw.
