14.1 to AN Cook, tight line from round the wicket, cramped on the angle, and a thin snick to the keeper as the ball holds its line on off stump. Lovely delivery to end a flowing innings. 55/1 18.2 to T Westley, angling in to the right-hander, nips just enough off the seam to crash into the knee-roll, stuck in the crease, Westley's got nowhere to go but the pavilion!. 63/2

42.1 to GH Vihari, full, wide, bit of a loosener... and Vihari has edged a drive through to Wheater! Up went the Essex fielders in unison, and so did the umpire's finger. Vihari didn't seem to like it, his hand going to his helmet in the manner of a man wronged, but he has to drag himself away. Big wicket for Essex, with Warwickshire still not quite halfway to their target. 126/2 78.3 to SR Hain, short ball, Hain swings it away... but picks out long leg! Is there a twist yet?! Hain throws back his head, trudges off in a bit of a funk. Nothing special about the ball, but Hain pulled in the air and Cook stooped for the catch. 244/3
