13.3 to AN Cook, thumped on the pad, and up goes the finger. Cook is half-forward, and that was a vociferous appeal.. 30/1 152.3 to SR Harmer, walks across a straight one, and that's as plumb as they come. 465/7 156.5 to BMJ Allison, one shot too many, spanked down the throat of deep midwicket. Wheater might need to get a wriggle on here.... 487/8 | ||||||||||

23.5 to NLJ Browne, goes too hard at the full length, bat skews on impact and that's a fine sharp take at extra cover to prise the opening. 57/2 50.5 to DW Lawrence, pinned on the crease and that's been given! Lawrence looks aghast, and with fairly good reason. That was very close to being both outside the line, and looked on the high side as well... but look in the scorebook!. 130/3 95.1 to PI Walter, one shot too many this time! An attempted flick off the toes, snags the outside edge, and a thick chance carries this time to second slip, scooped up with a dive, low to the left.. 254/4 | ||||||||||
| 36.4 | 6 | 95 | 3 | 2.59 | 146 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
109.5 to RN ten Doeschate, tossed up on middle and leg, straightens enough to thump the front pad, and that's the end of an enterprising knock. 304/5 151.2 to T Westley, yoinked high in the air, down towards the pavilion at deep midwicket, a good low grab to end a fine captain's innings. He was eager to get a move on, and no disgrace in that. Harmer enters the fray, with a licence to have a swing too, you suspect. 461/6 157.4 to AJA Wheater, smashed out to deep midwicket. Wheater attempts to put the hammer down, but he's holed out in front of the pavilion, and that will be the declaration too. 490/9 | ||||||||||

48.6 to MH Wessels, nailed on the pads, bent double by the impact! That's plumb and with lunch approaching, Porter has the breakthrough! Tight line, jagging back into the pads. The end of a doughty stand. 132/5 | ||||||||||

14.3 to DKH Mitchell, Sam Cook is back in the attack and he makes the breakthrough! A beautiful nipbacker from just outside off, and Mitchell is caught in two minds as the ball zips back into his off stump. Half playing at it, half leaving. All bowled. 32/1 14.6 to TC Fell, full length, tight lines, thick edge, and snaffled by Harmer at second slip! Fell is felled, and Worcestershire's day is finishing in a bit of a muddle. 32/2 16.1 to GH Roderick, Rodders, you plonker! Outside off once more, Cook is finding a glorious line at this late juncture of the day, a limp push of the bat, and third slip snaffles a fat edge. He's on a hat-trick!. 32/3 21.2 to BL D'Oliveira, banged on the shin and D'Oliveira is gone! That one jags back just a touch and he's only halfway forward, an easy decision! Four in 12 balls for Cook!. 43/4 | ||||||||||

53.4 to OB Cox, a huge swipe across the line and up goes the finger! Down on one knee for the sweep, pinned in front, and Worcestershire's session starts badly. 145/6 173.3 to DY Pennington, whoops! A big-old tailend honk through the line, beaten by the turn, off come the bails with the foot dragged out of the crease. Harmer has a hard-earned second. 465/9 177.3 to CAJ Morris, on the back foot, spins back into the back pad, and up goes the finger! Essex's ordeal is over. Jake Libby carries his bat!. 475/10 | ||||||||||

145.1 to EG Barnard, bowled him! Plays all around the drive, stumps splattered. A bit of bite outside off, and through a yawning gate. The end of a tremendous stand. Barnard never quite got going again this morning, but a formidable partnership all the same. 389/7 | ||||||||||

146.2 to J Leach, a flick down the leg-side, and Allison has his maiden first-class wicket for Essex! A bog-standard strangle, but they all count. A chance at last for Essex to get back on the front foot in this contest. 390/8 | ||||||||||
