After notching up two centurions yesterday, Essex’s first ten minutes of the working week have brought them back to earth. First Ben Allison’s stumps are splattered by Craig Overton, showing no signs of yesterday’s foot injury, then Critchley is run out for 121. Essex 371-6.
Phil Salt starts today as he did yesterday, a thick outside edge flying through the slips for four, accelerating through the heat. Lancashire have the lead.
