Essex -vs- Leciester

[The General]

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!!

Tudor and G Flower missed out on the first XI ...

Make that 138/5. Get in there Goughie!

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

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 ...

 

[The General]

220 all out.

Essex sit on 49 for zero ...

 

[BoyWonder2]

Who got the final wickets?

 

[The General]

Gough and Steyn ended with 3 each, Adams 2, Ravi and Napier 1 each ...

 

[The General]

68/0 at end of day

 

[The General]

Onto day 3 and Leicester have a lead of about 130 and have 3 wickets left ...

Last day and Essex need 191 to win - what's the weather like in Chelmsford?

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Forecast is for sunny intervals.

We've made a decent start 32-0 off 6 overs.

 

[Hong Kong Blue]

Me and my big mouth. 32-1

Jefferson out for 13.

 

[The General]

54-2.

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

Keep up Kev: he batted at no.3 in his 3 previous innings as well!

 

[W4 Shrimper]

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....

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

115-3

Cook out for 53

Flower and Irani at the crease, 70 odd to win

Really? Im losing it ...

Must be 'cos im back at work after 9 days off!

 

[Westcliff Shrimper]

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...

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.

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

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
