364-1 after 78 overs, Jefferson out for 64 and Ali Cook is not out 193 http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Bopara not out 92 as well.

3 of the Aussie bowlers played in the last test, too http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

As I'm typing, Ian Bell has hurt his hamstring in the C&G final, Cook to replace him if he's injured! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Cook's gone for 214, caught Gillespie so it sounds like he was looking for sixes. Great innings from him, shows he really is a prospect.

411-2, we still have 26 overs to bat

It sounds like the Aussies have played a decent side and it shows just how promising this Essex team is. Oh how I'm going to enjoy sitting in the oval on the saturday of the test and watching the Aussies being trounced........ again!http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Er, no we didn't actually - we drew. *May I draw your attention to the "Result" line towards the top of this scorecard... (http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005/AUS_IN_ENG/SCORECARDS/AUS_ESSEX_03-04SEP2005.html)
