None of the Yorkshiremen on here keeping a White Rose thread for this season, so today's fireworks at Headingley probably deserve a mention in here. Yorkshire 206 all out in their first innings, Northants 234 all out in their reply. Yorkshire 247 in their second knock, setting a target of 220; Northants were 9-1, 74-4 and 206-9 in the chase, got to within two runs of a win and one off a tie before Wayne Parnell edged behind. First time Northants have ever lost by one run, second time Yorkshire have won by one; their last was in 1976.
