Div Two: Derbys v Northants, Glamorgan v Middlesex, Leics v GloucsOnly 22 runs to play with and Warwickshire know they need something dramatic if they're to pull this off.
That takes the lead to three figures and we can't completely rule out a tense run chase this evening.Cheers from the Chelmsford crowd as Simon Harmer gets off the mark by pulling Michael Rae to the boundary and Essex are now within 30 of victory.Still no breakthrough for Lancashire this morning at Stanley Park as David Bedingham and Ollie Robinson continue to chip away at this mammoth target of 475.
Middleton and Fuller 77 not out) see the south coast county home with no further batters required today.Essex need just 37, but they have only four wickets left now. Simon Harmer comes out to join Matt Critchley who, on 77, is probably the key man to try and steer them over the line.Dillon Pennington bowls a short ball down the leg side and James Fuller ducks. Just two from that over but Hampshire only need 10.
Both have reached 50s in this second innings and both for the sixth time this season. It's nice to see Robinson back in the runs after a nervy start last night and consecutive scores of one and none.
