Gonesville. Good work from Fozzie as it wasn't the flattest throw you'll ever see. Criminal from Hildreth tho.

C'mon Trego, tee-off.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Been a good spell from Don's old boy. 3/27 at Taunton for any seamer is top banana. For an 18yo it's very impressive.

Has great control, it's fair to say.

 

[grecian]

Hmm, not brilliant but defendable, worried about Cook funnily enough, he has various things to prove.

 

[BoyBrumby]

If it was me last quid I'd stick it on Essex from here, but being runners-up is kinda Somerset's thang, so think they'll find a way to defend it.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Great start from Safferset. 9/1 off the first two. Pettini perishes as a result of the scoreboard pressure.

Ravi, god I love you

Indeed. Second ball blob. Can't handle Trego's heat.

Who can though, it's like Waqar at his peak.

Puts me in mind of a young Malcom Marshall.

And this bloke plays for England? Can't fathom it myself.

 

[Stumpcam]

Did Dockrell even have to move position at all to make that catch?

 

[grecian]

Big wicket that. Shah does like being arrogant for someone who is so decidedly average.

 

[grecian]

England Batsmen being owned by a Saffie, that's novel....

He made a lovely straight drive just before he got out, but the way he then nodded approval at his own shot is the kind of thing that gets throats punched.

Good second over from the senior Morkel. One run, one wicket.

If Cook gets Essex home from here he must play T20 for England.

 

[Stumpcam]

Essex needs over 10 runs from each of the remaining overs now. Cook and Franklin need to put the hammer down.

I'd have liked to see him do it to Steve Kirby, could be a fun reaction.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Probz out, but the third ump's guessing with the angles.

& given. Ballsy and common sense too, I suppose.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Crap running from Franklin. Just seemed to lumber casually through it, and not for the first time in the innings either.
