[dazedpenguin]

Harmer, Allison, Beard, Buttleman, Cook, Critchley, Das, Khushi, Lawrence, Nijjar, Pepper, Rossington, Sams, Snater, Walter, Westley

Good luck lads.

Did Rossington drop one the other night?

Baffling that he's back keeping give  buttleman has been impressive and improving with the bat.

[dazedpenguin]

Essex won the toss and will bowl:

Rossington, Lawrence, Pepper, Khushi, Walter, Critchley, Sams, Harmer, Snater, Beard, Cook

[kingstonj1]

Snater...

Snater...

He needs to bat in the top 4 to take advantage of the fielding restrictions.

[CostaDelEssex]

Quality innings from Rosso.
Must of really worked hard on his general fitness when nursing a finger injury.

[dazedpenguin]

Khushi! What a win against one of the best teams in the group. Fine innings from Pepper, Lawrence and Khushi. That mid innings collapse added to the drama.

Now Somerset need to beat Kent.

[bwildered]

A win a win.

Did our best to lose it, made hard work of it at the end, Jordan threw it away !
Await others to do our dirty work sums up a campaign that stuttered at the end.

Cue Bell-Drummond scoring a spawny century.

True, but we have 16 points and only 1 team, Surrey in 2018, have got that many points in either group and not qualified since it went to 14 matches a side.  Two of those Surrey games were no results.  No team has won 8 matches and not qualified unless you count Leicestershire who were docked 2 points.

Have a little faith you lot even though this fabulous win may not be enough if our rivals the other side of The Thames confound Somerset.

The heavy losses desecrating our net run rate May well prove crucial.

Consistently inconsistent some you win some you lose, the very epitome of T20. Form or logic fly  out of the window.

I never thought I would wish this but come on Somerset help us out for once.

Life in Essex yet. Never write them off.

[Reddevil]

Just had a horrible thought. Somerset would not let Kent win to spite us, would they.

I feel sick 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

[Perov]

If Kent lose, we play Birmingham Bears at Edgbaston  on Thursday at 6.30pm.

If Kent win, we are out and we won't be at Edgbaston  on Thursday!

[essexspur]

Those Somerset boys certainly know how to bowl at the death. Decent chance of making finals day and at the very least it’s good to keep the campaign going and see how some of the youngsters get on under pressure

[nat]

Never in doubt
