Essex CCC 2017

[mattitouk]

Sadly, it was a bit of a collapse at the end of the days play, for us to finish on 188-8.

I was also hoping that we would build up a sizeable lead, but sadly not. Although well done to TDS for his 61 not out, & hope he can reach a ton tomorrow.

Our first goal should be reaching 200 (which should be achievable, considering it's only 12 runs away) to get the batting point... If we make 250+, it will be a blessing / miracle.

Anyway, what a day a for the bowlers all across the 1st division in general......

Yorkshire 113 all out.
Warwickshire 126 all out.
Lancashire 149 all out.
Middlesex 166 all out.

Be good to get a 100 lead this morning, and if weather like here in London, cloudy could be over in two days

IF we can win,would be a great boost to the squad without Cook and Westley, end of the day we havenot got a lot of depth, but who steps in, seems to rise up to the task

UTE

 

[Blueronron]

That's the 200 up and an important bonus point, be brilliant if could grind out another 50 runs, loads of time to bat

 

[Blueronron]

231 All out, then bonus time Lyth out for golden duck to Porter

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

231 all out in the end, and Porters got Lyth out 2nd ball :thumbsup:

Yorks 0-1 trail by 118 with 9 2nd innings wickets remaining :happy:
