You had to say that didn’t you. He’ll be gone as soon as you like.
38 - 4 Dawson gone.

Oops my bad 55-5
68-6 at close. Carnage
Well that was a Harmer blow for Hampshire wasn’t it…
163 all out.
Harmer 8-46 from 14.2 overs
Both teams keen to get home today.
Essex 48-3
Not as bad as it could have been - at least the tail wagged a bit. We’ve put in a decent 3rd innings bowling performance already this season, so hoping that will continue this afternoon.
Only 7 wickets for Dawson, poor really
223 all out. Lead by 298
Big ask to pull this one around. Need a Boycott mentality from the openers!
Over 2 days to get under 300?
2 x Boycott please.
35-0 at close. Without Boycott
We might have a chance, provided Vince doesn’t go prancing down the wicket to Harmer facing his second ball.
Good start! Tricky facing 13 overs after a day like that. Set up nicely for tomorrow.
The optimism is strong in this one…
From 97-0 to 135-4.
184-6 at lunch. 115 needed
Harmer has taken 4, but also gone for 5.6 runs per over.
Lost. 13 runs short. Ffs
Did well to get so close what with the diabolical pitch and an umpire whose bank account needs investigating.
