4.54pm That was a mighty gutsy innings from Northants. They were struggling badly at 86 for 6, but Broad and Procter pieced it together with a superb 80-run stand for the seventh wicket. It sounds like the target might come down a touch, to 155, which is a reflection of the fact that they might well have been bowled out across 20 overs. But even so, it's a stiff target given it's the second match of the day, and scores tend to trend downwards on Finals Day. Vish will be here for the chase shortly.

Currie to Procter, OUT, superb response! Hits his length, pings the top of the leg bail as Procter swings for the hills. A special innings from Procter in what were tricky circumstances at 86 for 6

So, the reduction in overs now plays into Northants' hands... their target will be hiked if they finish this well
