Calvin Harrison is backing Northamptonshire to exact revenge against Durham at Wantage Road tomorrow, after losing an equally hard-fought game against the northeast county at Chester-le-Street in June.
The game stands on a knife-edge after captain Luke Procter struck twice in two balls before the close. His wickets included the vital scalp of former England captain Ben Stokes, to help drag the county firmly back into contention against fellow promotion challengers Durham.
‘All to play for’
Harrison, who took two wickets on a pitch offering prodigious turn, said: “It's exciting, coming into the last day with results to play for. After the first day with a bit of rain, we didn't know, after last week as well, how much cricket we might get. It looked a bit dodgy up top, but it's been nice to get out there in a good few days and set up the game nicely.
