Wells removed Oliver after a grinding 100.... Sussex struggling to end this, but they are Shehzad down and having to rotate part time spinners. Was the concern at the start of the year that Sussex were maybe a spin bowler short, or a genuine all rounder short, starting to look correct now against the poorest team they might play

Wells picks up another.... two in three balls, Cox goes lbw for a duck!!

[sussexpob]

Sam Northeast's 55 so far may be the innings of the last decade on that pitch...

[Alviro Patterson]

Hobbo draws first blood 5 balls into day 2!!! Looking a useful lad this season so far.

Hobden has huge potential - seen him online bowl a hostile opening spell in that Emirates Dubai T20 Final against Yorkshire, yielding a double wicket maiden.

Northeast out for 77. Kent have a lead of 172, 3 wickets left. 200 might be enough.

typical first game of the season at Chelmsford..however our batting line up is so brittle, its worrying..

[Aidan11]

It's been a strange round of matches. Scores either unusually high or unusually low.

Essex chasing 193.

Essex chasing 193.

Sounds as if it will be a tricky chase.

[dan08]

Essex lose their first with a ball that keeps low. 9/1.

[Alviro Patterson]

Alex Lees brings up his century, the 7th in First Class Cricket

[andy]

Essex close on 66-3, should be a fascinating day's play tomorrow, both teams still well in with a shout

[ianp1970]

Listened to the evening session from Edgbaston on the BBC Sport App, exactly the kind of service I don't mind paying the licence fee for

Think we'll struggle to chase more than 300, so ideally would like to bowl Hants out for 250 tomorrow.

Luke Wells must have just booked himself a place opening for the second XI... 4 failures in a row for him now. Becoming consistently poor for Sussex is Wells.... ignoring his dead rubber match at Northants last year when they had already given up with relegation, I cant remember the last time he looked convincing.

Might keep his place as a bowler.
