19.2 to MJ Henry, That's all she wrote... Sams takes a bit off this ball and Henry skies down the ground. Snater, coolest on ground, scampers in and makes a tricky catch look routine. 140/9 | ||||||||||

2.2 to WCF Smeed, hacked onto his leg stump! Smeed's footwork is cramped by the keeper's close attentions, he throws the bat with his back leg anchored, and under-edges into his woodwork to give Essex their first incision. 17/1 6.2 to T Banton, reverses the hands and slaps a simple catch to backward point! Banton tried to improvise, but he couldn't line up his shot, very high on the bat, might even had been off the glove, and Snater has two for none from eight balls!. 46/2 15.4 to L Gregory, Snater gets another! Bit of extra lift on the shorter ball means Gregory miscues a pull to the leg side. The ball doesn't go far, allowing Snater to complete the dismissal himself. 113/5 | ||||||||||

7.6 to T Kohler-Cadmore, googly! Rattles the stumps! Kohler-Cadmore is caught on the crease, flat-footed as the ball shapes in, under-edged down into the crease and onto the middle stump. Essex are taking control now!. 54/3 | ||||||||||
| 4 | 0 | 29 | 3 | 7.25 | 6 | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | |
10.6 to TB Abell, Gone! That had been coming... Abell was getting no joy from the crease and decides to charge and hit over the top. Poor execution and Beard just has to backtrack a few paces from mid on to take the catch. 68/4 16.4 to BGF Green, Green goes! Really smart from Walter, who runs his fingers over the ball from around the wicket. Skies high and Das puts in the dive to take the catch after it just gets away from him in the wind. 121/6 18.3 to SR Dickson, AIR ROSSINGTON! Pace off the ball and Dickson tries to impart power of his own to the shot. Alas, he can only glove above the wicketkeeper, who leaps and clutches it in his right mitt. 133/8 | ||||||||||

4.4 to RJ Das, Oh mate... Poor choice of shot, as Das tries to clear Henry at mid on but the timing is all off. Essex are doing as Surrey did earlier and gifting Somerset wickets. 44/4 | ||||||||||

1.6 to AM Rossington, WOW! Rossington times his best shot of the innings and Aldridge, cover point, takes a superb catch. How that hasn't punctured his rib cage, never mind stayed in his hands, is anyone's guess.... 27/1 3.1 to MS Pepper, Now then! Henry pitches one on middle and leg, which then comes back and clips the top of off. Pepper absolutely clueless. Where has that come from?!. 35/2 3.6 to DW Lawrence, Plumb! Nip-back and right in front of middle as Lawrence moves across to the off side as per. Too quick, particularly off the pitch as Lawrence was totally in shock when he was pinned. So, so in front that he decides not to review. 38/3 18.3 to DR Sams, wide line... and a wonder-catch to win it! Tom Kohler-Cadmore, at backward point, flings out his left hand as Sams slashes towards deep third! It's the perfect shot for the moment, it seems a certain four, but it's the perfect leap for the title! Somerset win the Vitality Blast for the first time since 2005!. 131/10 | ||||||||||

7.6 to MJJ Critchley, LBW again! Critchley, like Lawrence, moves across and Gregory's delivery nipping in finds his front pad adjacent to middle and off. 55/5 14.4 to SR Harmer, snicked off, and Banton gathers with a leap! Harmer tried to run the boundary down through the vacant third, but his contact was too thin! A faint but palpable edge, into the keeper's mitts as he dives to his right, and that's a vast incision!. 106/7 | ||||||||||

11.3 to PI Walter, lines up the mow to leg, and gets his stumps splattered! Walter has given it away! It looked a touch shorter, leg-stump line, but it just skidded on through a touch quicker than anticipated, and now Essex really are looking down the barrel!. 80/6 15.3 to S Snater, bowled him! Flat-footed from Snater as Sodhi spears in the faster flatter stump-threatener. Straight though his ambitious swish. Bullseye!. 107/8 17.2 to AP Beard, tossed-up legbreak, back go the stumps! Lovely teasing bowling, up above the eyeline of the left-hander, who has a wipe through the width outside off, but the ball dips and bites and turns back into his off stump. This is nearly checkmate. 117/9 | ||||||||||
