Essex were 122-6 when I went into a meeting and we are now 126-7.

Porter and Cook destructive.

128 all out

Essex 6-0 at stumps due to a Davey no ball that went for four more runs

They should calm down when Essex get a good score in the second innings.

Well, the East Saxons crumble to 138 A O., leaving the West Saxons two and a bit days to either
a) "Bish-Bash" at 0.05 run a over to chase a win
or
b) Dig in an try and protect their 10 wks for an extremely protracted (and unexpected) draw.
UPDATE
75-1 as I type - 92 needed. Fingers still crossed but I suspect Essex have already booked Advance Saver Tickets for His Majesty's Pitch Inspectorate from Paddington to Taunton...just in case.

What a thrilling finish. Job done with just 3 wks to spare ( but with the fourth innings score being the highest of the match no point-score chickens being counted just yet - I hear the train carrying the official Chelmsford Pitch Challenger has only just passed Castle Cary.)
Nevertheless, who says that the "longer-form" game is boring eh?
