A very weak Essex batting lineup managed to get 335 and both Bennett and Jones got 50s. Which would seem to indicate that calling the pitch a road would be an understatement. Are they using the kookaburra in these fixtures too?
Good to see Jack Parrish getting a 5 for. I wonder if he'll get a chance in the 50 over competition? He's only 16 so probably too early, but he has been picking up wickets regularly and there aren't that many spinners coming through.
