Essex are absolutely in control against the Kents

 

[markysimmo]

Trying to get Sky Go up and even with a VPN on it’s not having it, slightly frustrating that

 

[superspurs]

fudging INTO THEM this morning please, get these 2 wickets early and bat all day, please!

Had a bit of luck so far but we need this
Am watching a bit in 40c heat sipping a very cold Mythos

 

[Grays_1890]

All things considered, Crawley has had a really good series. Hard to open the batting

Enjoy fella, not jealous at all

 

[Grays_1890]

What an innings....best I have seen in a long time (Stokes apart)

 

[markysimmo]

We’re proper smashing them
Love it

 

[Grays_1890]

Absolutely got them to the sword at the moment, so good to watch....

 

[Grays_1890]

Joe Root, you are ridiculous, in this situation when he is set in, we should see another ton up. Such a good player

 

[markysimmo]

And still with Brooks, Stokes and JB to come we could easily get 400 plus by close of play

 

[Grays_1890]

Declaration imminent?

Moeen needs a special mention- coming straight in as an opener really and taking the shine off the ball. Chapeau.

Brilliant knock by Ali, take the shine off the ball

I think we will look to pile on this time, try and get them done by an innings if possible

They miss Lyon badly here

 

[markysimmo]

These are some of the best bowlers in the game and we’re smashing them around for 6/7 an over in an ashes test match hahaha

 

[Grays_1890]

Missing a lyon but packed with Cheetahs.

They never change their spots

We have to win from here surely, day 2, total knocked off for 2. This is insane

 

[Grays_1890]

Aussie heads have gone

 

[Grays_1890]

It’s all about demoralising the Aussies from here. You want them questioning themselves and their decision making.

You know, the sort of angst we have down under day after day after day.

Absolutely, despite that wicket now, we have an opportunity to keep them in the field and demoralise them

Yep they have spent decades grinding us down into the dirt we need to do the same

Roots caught a snorter there

Not a bad old day of cricket and Essex on top as well.

 

[Grays_1890]

Thats one of the best days of cricket I have ever seen. Really up there, enjoyed every minute of it which despite my love for cricket is rare as I potter about and get distracted, but that was class
