Northamptonshire's hopes of securing a decisive victory against Glamorgan were thwarted by inclement weather on the final day of this Vitality County Championship match at Wantage Road.
Northamptonshire was required to take seven wickets on Monday after reducing Glamorgan to 104 for 3 on Sunday night, with the visitors still trailing by 230 runs. Northamptonshire had scored a considerable 605 for 6 in their opening innings before making the decision to declare.
The heavy overnight rain and persistent drizzle throughout the morning meant that play could not resume and, following a meeting with the umpires, Sue Redfern and Graham Lloyd, the game was finally called off shortly after 4 pm.
John Sadler, the head coach of Northants, made the following statement:
"If we'd have got maybe two sessions in today, I think we'd have won the game. But the weather's beaten us. We can't get too down about it. It probably saved us in Sussex and we've lost one here, so we're probably level par.”
