Yes, you didn’t just misread it. Both teams had a staggering 25 wickets as we headed into the middle of the second inning against Northamptonshire on the second day and were in trouble.
Day 2 will start soon, and it looks increasingly likely that the race will end before afternoon tea today. However, cricket is a fun game and the Northants are likely to surprise everyone and play all day.

Essex vs Northants: What happened on day one?
The North won the toss and opted to bat on Tuesday. It did look like a tricky wicket, but no one could have expected the bowlers to dominate the game of the day the way they did.
Northamptonshire were knocked out 81 in their first innings. Sam Cook was the star for Essex with five wickets in 12 overs, while Jamie Porter also impressed with four scalps.
Essex were in the lead at the time and they got off to a pretty good start. However, they lost their opening game with three balls in the air, which brought the Northants back into the game.
The Hawks fared better than their opponents, but still had an 89-point lead with just 170 points. No one thinks that’s enough to end the game, but if things go well, it probably is.
The Northants ended the day with five wickets and just 23 runs on the board. Sam Cook already has nine wickets in the game and if he can keep it up the game is likely to be over before lunch.
