Batting coach Greg Smith described the bowlers’ impact as ‘unbelievable’ as Northamptonshire moved closer to sealing back-to-back Rothesay County Championship victories against Gloucestershire.
Liam Guthrie again led the way with a stack of wickets on a day in which the hosts claimed 12 Gloucester scalps at the cinch County Ground, Wantage Road.
