THE PREDICTION
Third place hosts second place in Group 3 of the County Championship as Northamptonshire take on Yorkshire. The home side know that victory would see them leapfrog the White Rose with one match to go and the top two counties in the group qualifying for Division One. Yorkshire will be without many of their international stars for this match, although their strength in depth is good and Northamptonshire won’t find it easy against them. This is expected to be a tight contest and isn’t helped by the predicted forecast, with a large number of overs potentially set to be lost due to rain. With that in mind, alongside Yorkshire being likely to bat slowly with the intention of making it as hard as possible for Northamptonshire to force a result, a draw looks on the cards.
