Here we go then another season of T20 kicks off tonight with a nice easy start v Essex , nice and local for me so really looking forward to seeing Rashid Khan bowl tonight (hopefully) , no Katie in the squad as he's doing other stuff for England , strangely enough no Mills either , his hamstrings have been sent to Peru for identification .

All we are saying is give them a chance

No Ben Brown. Any reason for this? Can only see a defeat as Essex are very strong again this year. Is Finch missing and our latest century maker? Bat first and need at least 180 but who will score them. Bowling first can we restrict them to under 200? Not expecting much.

Wright out

Evans then dropped fist ball

86-3 after 10 overs, Burgess rebuilding the innings. Of course at Chav HQ you need at least 200 due to their short boundaries.

 

[Petee]

Top knock from Burgess!

 

[Badger]

50 from TWENTY balls

 

[jakarta]

Another rank delivery takes a wicket, as usual chucking this away. 140-5.

Great partnership to recover from poor start.

Closing overs crucial as ever to decide what is posted. 180+ must put us in the game.

181-6 we end up on. Fancy us here with Jofra and Khan in the attack

 

[jakarta]

181-6 at the end, at least 20 runs short unless Rashid Khan can do something.

181-6 at the end, at least 20 runs short unless Rashid Khan or one of our strong seam attack including one of the World's top rated T20 bowlers can do something.

If we had 201+ on the board we would be long odds on...

Nice debut from Rash.

If we can close this out will be a great win up there without Tymal and CJ.

Essex need 40 off of the last 2 overs which It would seem Archer and Weise will bowl.
