Northants avoided an innings defeat at Lancashire but the hosts need just 16 runs on day four to secure victory.
Paceman Richard Gleeson took his second five-for of the game against his old club to seal a maiden 10-wicket haul.
At 150-8 - needing 35 to make Lancashire bat again - Nathan Buck (32 not out) hit five fours and a six as Northants were 200 all out at stumps.
Earlier Dane Vilas (97) and Tom Bailey added another 59 for the seventh wicket to help Lancashire to a total of 415.
It was a 126-run stand in all, giving the home side a 185-run first-innings lead despite a second first-class five-wicket haul for Northants' Luke Wood.
Lancashire were granted an extra half-hour to complete an innings win inside three days, but they will have to knock off a paltry total on Friday morning to complete the job.
