    So Essex have Lancashire away in the T20 Blast quarter finals this Wednesday.
    The game can’t be played at Old Trafford because of The Ashes starting there that day , so it’s been moved to just the odd 144 miles and 2hrs and 20 mins away at Chester-le-Street , Durham’s ground !

    I thought that seemed a strange venue! 

    Didn't even check the Essex Kent result until just now as I didn't expect us to qualify, talk about sneaking in through the back door! We made it hard for ourselves. Hopefully a "neutral" venue gives us a chance

    Quarter final away to Lancs tonight. 

    Being played at Durham as Old Trafford hosting the test. Seems bit unfair on Lancs to be honest. 

    Lancs post 159 in their innings.

    Surprised bopara didn't bottle it. Finished off it style, though the lancs fielding helped nicely

    If only Kent could finish like this

    23 required off two overs. 

    1.6.6.1.2.6  then 0.6

    Somerset 85-8 replying to Hampshire’s 196.
    essex 16-1 replying to Surrey’s 174.
    low scoring penultimate matches could result in Essex being top going into last match against Somerset. Then I’ll get the rain dance going.

    Hants need to chase 281 to win. Essex have a lead of 166 and a couple of wickets left, a handy position.

    Got to think Somerset will chase that down.

    MrOneLung Posts: 26,835
    Essex put on 45 so far for last wicket - handy runs
    Harmer got a 50

    Needed 5 runs off 110th over for maximum batting points but cook out.
    wouldve taken that at 3:30 yesterday.

    Somerset lost and Slurry are getting handed their brown caps to stem the arse bleed. 

    Boom!

    You just know Somerset are going to do us by an innings...

    As a neutral I'm hoping for a classic final game for the title. Sadly I think the weather will intervene, which will be great for Essex but a shame for everyone else

    Unbelievable that Essex have only lost one County Championship match so far this year -  the first game of the season, where they got their arse handed to them on a plate and lost by an innings and 87 runs.
