Northants: Yet to bat |
Leicestershire's County Championship match with Northamptonshire was abandoned without a ball bowled on day one because of a wet outfield.
Umpires Nick Cook and Paul Baldwin called stumps at 15:30 BST after persistent rain at Grace Road.
The abandonment is a blow to third-placed Northants, who must beat the Foxes to have any chance of achieving promotion from Division Two.
Leicestershire are bottom and without a win in 13 Championship matches in 2017.
