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?!

Thanks mad. I notice West Bromwich Dartmouth CC is being used, was the National Counties Championship final played there again this year? Ive enjoyed this ground in the past.

Cook available for Essex and Noah Thain is back from injury. No Porter.

We're maybe at the stage where with rain affected games we could see captains getting together and trying to set targets, forfeited innings etc...

On the road again
