Maybe not... #ESSvSUR 🏏
Curtis Campher starting well for us, I see. #EssvSur
Maybe Chelmsford after work #ESSvSUR
🗳 Your #ESSvSUR D&B Scaffolding Player of the Match!
Well played, Critch! 👏
Sooner rather than later would be good. But, this is gripping stuff. #essvsur, though I can see how my baseball-first friends might yet need a bit more time to absorb the intricacies here.
I think Essex should enforce the follow on. They’ve only got a few overs to get through tonight and then the bowlers can have a night’s rest. It’s the only way they’ll get a result. #essvsur 🏏
A grotesquely over-extended metaphor after a day of distinctly non-cruise-like rail replacement journeying. Two days into the season and I’m already disgusted with myself #EssvSur www.espncricinfo.com/series/count...
Matt Critchley reaches his hundred four balls before lunch. A wicketless session to drive Essex along #EssvSur
Essex now 444/4 (and wanting more...) #ESSvSUR #CountyChampionship
Screenshot of Surrey's Bluesky account (because they'll probably block me if I say things aren't going so well) with a photo of play in the middle..
Always like the stiff upper lip of the Surrey account when things aren't going their way. Ok, so Essex may be 422/4 but the sun is shining and, oh look, Dan Lawrence is having a bowl (which is always entertaining...) #CountyChampionship #ESSvSUR
Rail replacement vibes #EssvSur
That sinking feeling when you look at a score that should bode well but you start, instead, thinking you could be settling in for a bore draw.... [Then you remember you have Cook and Porter to open the bowling🙂] #EssvSur #thecricket
Huge for Jordan Cox. Great to see. Absolutely deserved. #EssvSur
Drama for Jordan Cox on 98 as he balloons Lawrence into the leg-side, just out of Foakes’ reach #EssvSur
This whole trying to balance work and #cricket thing would go a lot better if the #Essex batters stopped successively looking like a hundred was on the way. But this is great stuff #EssvSur and to heck with work, at least until this afternoon.
Tall Paul Walter now averages over 100 as an opener in first-class cricket... from a massive sample size of five innings in as many years #EssvSur
The Squirrel in a Blender! Dan Lawrence, into the attack before lunch on the first day of the season, and he strikes fourth ball #EssvSur
Tall Paul Walter strides through to the first fifty of the county season. Levers #EssvSur
