Gloucs 80-6 v Northants
I'm not sure we'll get through 48 overs as planned but we're finally back on the park after a day and a half of delay.
Umpires David Millns and Michael Burns are in the middle - followed by batsmen Ben Charlesworth and Graeme van Buuren.
Northants need two more points to be sure to go up to Division One.
Gloucestershire in theory need nine but both teams will go up anyway if Glamorgan don't force a result against Durham. Unlikely as they only have a day left (weather permitting) to do so.
