21:19 Local Time, 20:19 GMT, 01:49 IST: Opener Vasconcelos got the home team off to a flier, but they just couldn't kick on with untimely wickets, thanks largely to the spin strangulation of Warwickshire. As many as 12 overs of spin were bowled and Northants, much like their first game of the season (against Worcestershire), once again found it tough to get going against the slower bowlers. Willey and McManus tried to steal some momentum around the 15-16th over, but both departed in the space of 11 balls, perhaps ending the hopes of a run-chase for the home side. This is the third successive loss at home for Northamptonshire and they will hope to turn things around on Friday when they host Leicestershire who lost three in three, and are languishing at the bottom of the North Group. The T20 Blast action continues to roll, however, and do remember to hop on this space for all the latest in cricket. For now, cheers and goodbye!!
