Northants resumed on 94-4, chasing 220 for victory, and Luke Procter (27) and Saif Zaib (25) kept the game in the balance at lunch with their side 174-7. Wayne Parnell and Simon Kerrigan took Northants to within 14 of victory when Duanne Olivier removed the latter. And with just two runs needed, Parnell (33) was caught behind as Steven Patterson sealed a stunning win. After a lengthy rain delay brought an early tea, Parnell, accompanied by Ben Sanderson, moved Northants to within a stroke of a famous win when he edged Yorkshire skipper Patterson to wicketkeeper Jonathan Tattersall who ended a magnificent contest with a smart low catch.
