Not sure how long there will be play, more rain on its way.

UpDate: Well that did not last a long, after 2 overs they are back off as the rain starts coming down again.

Still Essex 25-0

Jack Leach went close bowling against Alistair Cook for a good LBW shout, but the umpire do not give it. :Smile2:
 
According to commentator they need a wicket every 9 balls, a quick 60 then do it again!! Maybe not. Get that champers on ice.
 
126/6.Lost few quick wickets
As expected on this pitch, I expect the tail to go quite quickly too. Thy need to bat and get a quick 50 or so and we can waste time and then they need to get another 10 wickets. It won't happen.

The Sky commentators seem to think Somerset will just forfeit batting again even if they have a tiny lead and just put pressure on us

Yeah I see that on cricinfo just after I posted. we are 70 behind now, add another 20 and that is suicide giving us 50 to chase. they would be better served having a 5 over slog IMO
 
It is raining wickets :Frustrated:

Essex 137-9

66 behind

Update

Essex 141 all out

62 behind

What will Somerset do now?
 
I'd send Wheater into open and to chase the runs.

They are being too passive. Clear some of the fielders around the bat.

Just like that from, appropriately enough, Wheater.
