[Horton's halftime iceberg]

The road to Lords starts here, LIVE on SKY as well, think they had sold over 3000 tickets last week, lots of people sneaking off work for this one, only one overseas is allowed, I imagine Taylor will be that man

Weather looking good as well

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Going to be glorious out there and will look splendid on the telly as well, will be one to bat on first I reckon, we were really caught out on Friday with the transition to dusk to night under the lights, Wright and Taylor just couldn't pick the ball for about 3-4 overs.

Wish I could've got the day off work for this as my boy got a couple of free tickets after training at the MCC Academy back in February. Great timing too, as its an inset day at school - so he and his mum have just left home to head to the ground. Should be a cracking day for it! )

He's stuck for life now, two on the bounce lets hope we get a win for the young un today

Great timing too, as its an inset day at school

Typical just had a week off for half term and the teachers want another day off from the classroom. With fines being levied on parents taking children out of school it must be time for inset days to be taken during school holidays so that children do not lose precious time being educated.

I cant think of any better way to celebrate - HAPPY BIRTHDAY buy your self a pint or get an amazing home made pasta followed by an even better home made ice cream from the Italian in the ground

Essex win toss and bowl , odd .

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes - delighted to be batting. Only have a scorecard but if it's correct we seem a bit light on the bowling front

Jordan
Beer
Shazad
Briggs
Finch

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Bowling well though.

Who's Garton? I assume he's a bowler.

Yes just been told he is in for Finch. Played the first two Championship games.

Looks more balanced now as I assume Nash will bowl. Wells would have been another option

He LOVES the game Horton's. He plays at least 3 times a week for Rottingdean at the moment, & we even had to pop across to Lords on Saturday before going to the theatre in London (after playing an u10 match in the morning of course!)

He had the Friday before half-term off as well for an inset day....Its annoying for us, but does he care when it means he can watch or play cricket? Nah!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Nash plays a poor shot swinging and nicks it behind

25 for 1

7.4 overs

 

[Papa Lazarou]

On the telly the wicket doesn't look to be playing up at all... however, we're struggling to get any momentum

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Yes only 31 runs off the first. 10 and the power play
