[Yorkshire Blue]

252/5 at stumps.

A performance almost worthy of last season.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

And Ravi approaches a hundred for the first time in two seasons.
Speaking of making hundreds, noticed Ian Bell has made another one!

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Jamie Porter now over 50 wickets for the season to go with the 75 from last season - no other English qualified bowler is close to this. Will be hugely disappointed if he isn’t picked for one of the senior tours this winter.

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Doh! got that wrong, it’s Ravi’s second century this campaign.

 

[The Big Dady]

Essex 474 - 7 Declared

Bopara 133 not out, Coles 10 not out
Vijay 85, Westley 55, Wheater 66, Harmer 57, ten Doeschate 18

Essex lead by 380.

Just need to bowl Worcestershire out now.

 

[Ex-Member1]

Worcs 4-2 already!

 

[Shrimpers are Magic]

Few byes flying in, Wheater must be standing up to Porter.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Doh! got that wrong, it’s Ravi’s second century this campaign.

He's fourth in the Div 1 batting averages (min 500 runs).

Burns, Pope and Renshaw are the only 3 above him.

Close of play

Worcestershire 140 - 4

Worcestershire trail Essex by 240 runs with 6 wickets remaining

 

[Blueronron]

Have to say looking forward to our "Bridge" friends next year coming over the water to taste defeat

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Porter takes only three balls to dismiss the dangerman. Another victim bowled.

 

[Ricky Otto]

I was discussing the season with a couple of friends and our dip in form seemed to be when Wagner was in the team, a full season of Siddle and we probably would have been challenging. If Siddle doesn't get called up to the aussie squad next season, with the addition of Cook for the whole season as well, we look very strong.

This will be over by lunch with a bit of luck

Edit: Covers coming off.

Yep, I'm in the Chelmsford office today and it was a very quick light shower, expect play to resume quite quickly

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

212-8 another wicket for Porter

 

[Ex-Member1]

Won by an innings and 100 plus.
