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.

How about this for a grab!

What an unbelievable cricketer he is.

134 all out

Bamber 15-5-26-6

that yorker to bowl Cook is pretty special too. Has to be a shoe in for County Championship Player of the Year.

Enjoying the rain delay at Hove too. Take everything we can get.

At 19-2, it could be a game where we are happy with a lead and maybe bonus points will be difficult. If we get none for batting then we really have to win as a draw (this could be low-scoring so that might not happen) would only get us 11 points and that will be it as far as I am concerned.

Yeah, looks quite tough to bat out there against the newer ball for sure. 200+ would be a good job from this position against a decent attack.

Any word on whats happened to Will Young?

And when the hell did Notts sign Mukesh Kumar?!

Young travelled with the squad. There was a visa issue with the ECB that his agent failed to sort out on time. The paperwork was done but not until after the match started and he can play against Leicestershire. Not ideal to lose your overseas batsman for a crucial game and have to play Zen Malik.

How come it didn’t affect the game against Glamorgan?

Best to not ask. We might find that we fielded an ineligible player.
