LV County Championship round-up - Telegraph Key stat Madsen has lost the toss in five consecutive Championship games and that bad luck may haunt them again here on a greentop. Division Two Glamorgan v Essex David Masters, the 35-year-old who has found his best form late in his county career, took five for 44 as the hosts were all out for 231 at Sophia Gardens. Essex also confirmed their Australian batsman Rob Quiney had flown home for a shoulder operation. New Zealand's Hamish Rutherford will replace him after their Test series in England. Key player Masters. Key moment When Ravi Bopara ended the resistance of Glamorgan's Australian batsman Jim Allenby, who top-scored with 77. He had put on the hosts' biggest partnership - a stand of 73 - with Dean Cosker before his dismissal. Although the two quick wickets picked up by Glamorgan on Wednesday night may ultimately prove even more significant. Key stat No wides or no-balls were bowled by either team all day. Northamptonshire v Leicestershire Only 34 overs were bowled at a chilly County Ground as Leicestershire continued their search for a Championship win of the season. Oliver Freckingham had as much influence as anyone, taking two for 34. The 24-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler is in his first season in the Leicestershire senior team and has taken 10 wickets. Key player Freckingham. Key moment Arguably before play got underway, when Northants captain Stephen Peters, who has steered his team to the top of Division Two, broke a finger which is likely to keep him out of action for around six weeks. Peters suffered the injury during a morning net session, and was replaced by 21-year-old Rob Keogh, who had been due to play for the 2nd XI at Taunton Vale. Key stat 15 balls: the amount of play possible when the match finally got underway at 2.30pm before more rain intervened.
