Norwich Union League: Northamptonshire v Nottinghamshire at Northampton, 2 Sep 2001 Robin Reid |

Northamptonshire innings: |
Northants, already relegated for next season, were looking to give skipper David Ripley a victory in his final home appearance before retiring – and they reduced Notts to 44-5 inside a dozen overs with only Greg Blewett (23) making any impression.
Taylor hit the stumps to send back John Morris and Usman Afazaal as well as Blewett, and it took a sixth-wicket stand of 74 in 15 overs between Kevin Pietersen (58) and Wayne Noon (17) to lend the total some respectability.
Pietersen cracked a six and nine fours in his 62-ball knock before falling to Graeme Swann’s first delivery, and further useful contributions from Richard Logan and Gareth Clough with 24 apiece down the order gave the Outlaws something to bowl at.
