Come on Yorkshire, their lead is 108 and very highly rated (By me) George Hill is playing nicely with Bess and these 2 made runs in the 1st innings, please one of you get to 3 figures and help us out, we've done our bit.

Got wickets against us at Rugby School a couple of years back and people on here rubbished him, was unfair, he's a serious player and has been bowling well for a few years now whilst remaining a handy batter.

Excellent run chase. Hate it when sides get bogged down chasing low totals and almost sleep walk into trouble. Have to be proactive. Brilliant, brilliant win. A 2 day win which felt longer if you get what I mean.

Superb bowling as a unit but we just hung on in there and didnt get frustrated even when things weren't going our way. Kai looked a bit ragged either side of lunch but the catch to dismiss Allison was terrific and galvanised us. Excellent work by the openers in the run chase, well batted Zen Malik.

Im so nervous, please dont let us be 30 for 4 or something, I can't cope lol

Was interesting to read he's been managing a finger injury too...

The important thing for our side to remember is that we have lots of time left in the game and not to press too hard and become tense in our performance. If they just concentrate on bowling and fielding normally, to the best of thier ability the wickets will fall.

Can't argue with that.

I've got the feeling this is where Somerset get to put one hand on the title as they are virtually up to the Yorkshire total and I think Leach at one end will take wickets whilst the others chip away at the other. It has gone so badly for us this morning after being great at 11.15. How things change.

We've all seen enough cricket down the years to know things change very quickly and change back again...but I can see Yorkshire getting rolled for 130 here.

Us, feel like we need 4 wickets absolute bare minimum this session or we'll be behind in this game. We were unlucky before lunch to be fair.

Yorkshire should be demoted to National County status for this. Fuck sake.

How is that not out?!

Essex have really rode their luck v the new ball.

Somwrset always get good runs from their lower order.

Dominic Ostler would like a word...

How on earth that Woakes over didnt get a wicket then...

Hain did this v Essex in the game batting with Gilchrist for the last wicket.

Just seen, cheers. Benkenstein and Auld (FC debut) in.

The Daily Fail are reporting that next season could start on April 2nd with 7 rounds of CC (each county getting 1 'bye' week) and 2 rounds of CC in June and 2 more rounds of CC in July.

Anything been said about Shane Snater? Is he out of the game?

Suthar got a shocker

Wild session as Essex 8th wicket brings up 50 partnership pretty quickly.

Amazing Ethan Bamber

Hmmm

Any word on whats happened to Will Young?

And when the hell did Notts sign Mukesh Kumar?!
