Don't stand under the Essex balcony when Monty is up there......

What is it with opponents winning the toss at the Rose Bowl and electing to bowl first?!

And Essex in particular have a spinner in Monty who might have been a handful to deal with on day four, had Essex been batting first.

35-1 off 13.3, Jimmy the man gone for 2.

Is it that misleading green wicket again although overcast and windy may have been a factor.

Decentish 1st hour, 35-1

A few years ago, I could have totally understood opponents being caught out by a green looking wicket here. It often looks green, giving that false impression.

But teams should have learnt by now. It just smacks of failing to do your homework these days.

Will Smith moves onto 18, which takes him past 500 FC runs for us

[st_brendy]

Mitchell out for 26, and Worcs are in a little bit of trouble at 44-3. Not the deepest batting line-up in the world.

[SaintPowelly]

Carbs gone for 35, just as he was set too :/

[st_brendy]

Four of his six boundaries were streaky boundaries off Ryder/Mills. I never got the impression that he was too comfortable.

[SaintPowelly]

Vince is 35 runs behind Mitchell

800 vs 765

[SaintPowelly]

Surprised they didn't give Panesar the last over before lunch.

[SaintPowelly]

Vince has passed 1,000 runs this season, in both formats combined

220 in T20 and 795 LVCC runs.

[SaintPowelly]

The curious case of Adam Wheater continues, scores at a high SR in the LVCC and is notably slower in T20s

[SaintPowelly]

James Vince moves onto 801 FC runs for the season, overtaking Daryl Mitchell on 800.
