26-Aug-2010
No play was possible on the second day of the County Championship Division Two match between Northamptonshire and Worcestershire at Wantage Road.
Rain fell throughout the night in Northampton and with the forecast suggesting no respite, umpires Mark Benson and Nick Cook decided to abandon the day in the afternoon.
It was another blow to Northaptomshire's flagging promotion hopes as they looked to stabilise their innings and will resume on the third day on 96 for 3, with Stephen Peters unbeaten on 38 and Rob Newton yet to score.
Worcestershire, who have Division One aspirations of their own, will look to keep up the pressure tomorrow, with Alan Richardson looking to build on his figures of 2 for 21.
