@EssexCricket @PWalter_22 Congratulations.

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

at least James Middlebrook couldn't give that one not out.

@theseaside100 thanks, I didn't realise that

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

So @EssexCricket have chosen to pick Browne ahead of Khushi after both scored tons in the last game.
But the Nick Browne they've selected isn't the one we know and love - he's scored 9 off his first 4 balls.
What is going on?

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Decent figures from Jamie P

@EssexCricket ☹️

Lyon looking innocuous this morning.
Rare experience for him being the 2nd best off-spinner in the match.

Nervous lunch for Little Chef, on the brink of his maiden First Class 50.
Really hope he can manage that after lunch.
Things looking good for @EssexCricket

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

@EssexCricket Brilliant signing

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Elgar and Cox both top signings by the looks of things. Both continue their early season form with their 2nd 50 of the summer. Here's to many many more.

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Interesting that with Rossington off the field, @EssexCricket are playing Pepper as keeper and haven't given the gloves to Cox.

[Richard Pennystan @RevRLP]

Given this wicket, how do Eng approach 2nd inns?
A. Bazball, get runs before the pitch gets you.
B. Steadily accumulate, old school prize your wicket.

There have been 4696 ODIs - 11 Double tons. (0.234%)
There have been 492 WCup ODIs - 3 Double tons (0.61%)
However there were 2961 ODIs before Sachin broke the 200 glass ceiling. So since that happened the rate has been 0.634%

@TheBarmyArmy Loving this week.
Tues was great, today even better

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

@CountyChamp @hantscricket Hopefully not too important.

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

This is shaping up to be a tough contest. Be great if it was a tie, followed by Super-Over and then Eng win on boundary count. The Kiwis would be chilled about it, but Indian cricket fans on twitter would harp on about it for years to come...

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Essex opening bowlers doing the damage, and we've still got Yadav and Harmer to come.
(Sadly though Warks have crumbled twice to Surrey, making our chances of winning the CC highly unlikely.)

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Love it when the @EssexCricket opening bowlers get on a bit of a roll.

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

@EssexCricket that turned a mile.
Imagine what Simon Harmer is going to be able to do on this track.

[Grace Cricket @GraceCricket]

Can anyone explain why the umpire isn’t giving wides in the Hundred final?
