It's the worst ball of his spell, but Harmer won't care! His 34th five-wicket haul for Essex seals the contest with seven minutes of the day to spare. A long-hop, spanked hard at short leg, rebounds to the keeper. A redoubtable win

ripper! Tossed up on middle and leg, bites as it dips and pitches, and pings the top of off. We're almost there.
