Essex vs Northants, 1st Semi-Final at Birmingham, , Aug 17 2013 - Match Result

that shall do it, Tait is quick, Crook is swinging hard, and the top edge is flying over the keeper

another full toss, outside off now, and it is guided between extra cover and mid off, thank you very much

a full toss on the pad, oh dear, but it is nudged straight to fine leg

full delivery and a hard mishit to the bowler

gets the yorker in, dug out

length ball on the pad, and he's got enough of a tickle on it

this could be bye bye Essex, it is a no ball, it is full and Crook has slammed it over the sightscreen

make way down the ground, White has cranked up and swung this one straight at the umpire, who's got out of the way and long on cannot stop it

a full toss now, but he can only pat it back

White now, makes some room, goes against the angle from round the stumps, and smears it over extra cover

better line full around off stump, hit down to long off

this is running away from Essex, poor line again, full down the leg side, and scoots past the keeper, who is standing up and has no chance

not working for Essex now, good length ball, but into the pad, he has a go, and the ball hurries past short fine leg

hit to the sweeper for a single

take that, one more six, he tries firing it in to the pad, Crook flashes a sweep over deep backward square leg, what a quick connection that is

they are doing it with sixes, this is angled in full on leg stump, he backs away, gets under the pitch and shovels it over the man at long on

fires it flat and quick, he misses the pull, the ball misses leg stump

White on the charge again but can only carve it along the ground to the sweeper this time

another maximum, here comes White, down the pitch, and blasts it into the crowd next to the sightscreen
