Conor Craig took five for 24.

​​Northants youngster Tiaan Louw blew away the tail to bowl Kislingbury Temperance to a 29-run win over Old Northamptonians.

Liam Gough hit 87 in Kisl’s 240 for nine, with Ben Swingler-Brown giving support with 30, while Archie Ingman claimed four for 47 for ONs.

The Billing Road side eased to 210 for six with Dilshan Kanchana making 43 and Shivasurya Arun Krishna 42, but they then lost four wickets for one run as Louw took four for 48 - including the final three wickets.​​​​​​

​​Finedon Dolben are up to second after they thumped Desborough Town by 165 runs.

The reigning champions were too strong for Borough, and there was only going to be one winner once they made 274 all out, with Ewan Cox hitting 97 and John Bowers 61.

Desborough opener Wayne Steed did his bit with the bat, hitting 42, but there was very little support forthcoming as they were bowled out for just 109.

Jack Fuller took four for 43, Edward Hodgson two for 14 and Mark Wolstenholme two for 23.

​​Peterborough Town are the new leaders after they cruised to victory against rock-bottom Kettering Town.

Hayatullah Niazi claimed six for 34 as Kettering, who have lost every game so far this season, were rushed out 120, with their top scorer being Mark Watkins who made 30 not out, while Charlie Court hit 29 - the pair at least lifting their side from 47 for six.

Posh then had no issues chasing down their target, as Josh Smith hammered an unbeaten 66 to see his side home at 122 for two.

​Overstone Park are third in One after they eased to a five-wicket sucess over Burton Latimer.

Luke Odell hit 50 and Chris Harrison 39 in Latimer's 202 all out, with Adam Davies, Luke Phipps and Alex Rennie all claiming two wickets apiece.

Former Northants man Harry Gouldstone then led the way with the bat, hitting 69 and Charles Sales made 41 as Overstone cruised to victory at 205 for five with 14 overs to spare.

Kunal Patel chipped in with 31, while Aidan Cunningham claimed a couple of wickets.

​Northampton Saints claimed a fourth win of the season to rise to third in Division Two, seeing off Rothwell Town by eight wickets.

​Oli Chamberlain once again shone with the ball for the Birchfield Road East side, snaring four 34 as Rothwell were dismissed for 180, mainly thanks to a stubborn 60 not out from opener Marc Jackson.

There were two wickets apiece for Jake Baldwin and Abdul Iais

Saints then cruised to victory as they eased to 181 for two in 33.1 overs, with Matteo Rapps hitting 68 not out and Liam Bligh an unbeaten 50.
