Starts don’t come much better.

Good start. Bamber must be in England's reckoning for a winter tour.

I watched 3-4 overs just to see what was going on in a quieter period at work and saw maybe three chances, one dropped catch and two actual wickets. Bowling well, but also a few of the Essex bats weren't that great, bit loose, but un-cordinated so multiple factors. Elgar looked to be gutsing it out but also now gone...

Essex 33/5.....impressive again from Ethan Bamber!

Make that 33/6 as Barny strikes

33/7
If Carlsburg did starts…..

This is absurd

Already lots of turn for Suthar.

Goodness knows why Essex batted

Or Yorkshire either

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