Ali ponders Englandβs chances:
Good morning Tim Maitland! βSpent more time than Iβd care to admit trying to decide who to watch now that Yorkshire have been so inconsiderate as to win inside three days. Iβve plumped for Essex v Durham on the basis that itβs the most significant in terms of the championship itself and that I should at least get a spirited rearguard action from second-placed Essex.
βJudging from the second over of the day Dean Elgar is not going to last long facing Callum Parkinson and a Kalahari Desert of rough outside the left-handers off stump. And the nightwatchman Jamie Porter has gone for 3. A beautiful ball from Matthew Potts nipped in a fraction to literally take the top of off: it would have done for better batsmen.Essex 43 for 2.
βItβs something to do while I get the char siu and poached eggs on rice ready.β Sounds delicious. While youβre at it, I think buginabreeze was up for a lunch orderβ¦
