0.1 to LWP Wells, first ball of the innings, shaping back in from round the wicket, kicking off the seam, off the inside-edge, and snaffled by the keeper!. 0/1 4.3 to JJ Bohannon, Four for Five! And it's a rank leg-side half-volley that bags the latest, swinging past the pads, Bohannon flicks loosely, feathers the edge, and the chaos continues!. 4/5 20.3 to TW Hartley, . 68/9
Shane Snater	8	2	10	6	1.25	42	0	0	0	0
3.1 to KK Jennings, round the wicket, line and length, kicks straight on and slams into a planted front foot! Plumb!. 2/2 3.2 to SJ Croft, over the wicket to the new batter, full length on a stump-to-stump approach, nips off the pitch, pinned in front of off. Lancashire lose their third!. 2/3 3.4 to DJ Vilas, three wickets in four balls! And it's a carbon copy! Vilas leans tentatively forward to Snater's buzzing full length, slammed on the knee roll, bang in front. It's Joburg 1999-2000 areas for Lancashire!. 2/4 5.5 to GP Balderson, round the wicket, and that's unplayable! Wicked jag on a very full length, turning like an offbreak past the outside edge and into the off stump!. 7/6 13.2 to GJ Bell, . 34/7 15.1 to TE Bailey, . 52/8

9.2 to AN Cook, round the wicket, angling into the left-hander, jagging off the seam and into the leg stump! Essex's anchor is gone.... 28/2 9.3 to DW Lawrence, full toss on the toes, an absolute gimme for Lawrence... but he's only gone and clipped it to square leg! Two in two, and a first-baller for the England man!. 28/3 9.4 to MJJ Critchley, two slips wait ... two stumps out of the ground! Critchley plays all round the hat-trick ball, has his stumps splattered and it's pandemonium at Chelmsford!. 28/4 17.5 to AM Rossington, . 46/6 21.6 to T Westley, . 59/9
