After a poor start, Essex have now got 3 wickets, including that of former player Habib - for 2, and Leics are currently on 117/3 with Adams taking 2 and Ravi taking the other. Steyn is playing his first game and has managed 6 NB's already!! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif Tudor and G Flower missed out on the first XI ...

Now 175-8, quite a collapse from 98-0!

Once Bopara got the vital breakthrough, 2 for Adams, 2 for Gough and 3 on debut for Steyn.

We're struggling to get these last couple of wickets, which happened far too much last year.

That Steyn's rubbish, eh Matt ...

54-2.

Ravi came in at 3 and got a big , fat 0. Why he'd get put up there?

A frustrating day yesterday, going back to last year's bad ways of allowing the opposition off the hook with a big lowe-middle order partnership.

Having said that, this total should still be gettable....

127-3 with Ronnie Irani and Andy Flower at the crease...

Is there anyone working/living in Chelmsford today that can tell whether the weather will play a part? Blue skies in London, but the breeze is fresh... http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif

7 runs needed, and I'm not sure what part of London you are in but the skies certainly aren't blue above me at the moment!

Irani lbw for 34.

185 - 4, 6 to win

Flower 68*
Foster 0*

Ronnie just out for 37 off of 47 balls, Flower's 68 has taken 100 balls, so I would guess we weren't taking any chances with the weather

Six wicket win, that'll do nicely. Somerset looking likely to beat Durham (120/4 requiring 240) too, so the top of the table beckons http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

A promising start for the Essex and it looks like Andre and Dazza have began in full flow which is great news.

Alex was only dropped for a rest not because of his form. He has to come back in the team but it looks as though we have selection problems for the right reasons! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
