Essex 111 for 1 (Westley 58*) trail Worcestershire 230 (Cox 63, Rhodes 59,
Masters 7-52) by 119 runsScorecardThere is an air of expectancy around
Chelmsford these days.
Irv Smith Jr. Jersey . Not only are they top
of Division Two, eyes set on the sole promotion spot, but their team possesses
the perfect blend of youth and experience. Their Championship performances have
eclipsed those in recent seasons and, as a bonus to winning games, they are
doing so in style. For an Essex fan, it makes uncomfortable viewing.For the last
few years they have had to temper expectations. Previous dawns have been false.
Any calm a precursor to an unforeseen yet expected storm. At least in their
eyes. In 2013, when Ben Foakes, now of Surrey, helped save Essexs blushes
against Kent with a composed 86 - his highest score at the time - one fan
shouted up to the players balcony as a wide-eyed Foakes, knowing only of Essex,
was being interviewed: Well played Foakesy, but youll leave like the rest of em!
Twice in this match you got the feeling some felt more comfortable in that
default state of self-mocking schadenfreude.The first was a period after lunch,
when Ben Cox led a Worcestershire charge, ably supported by George Rhodes, which
saw boundaries flashed through the off side at will, as 94 was put on at over
four an over. This would be so Essex, grumbled one fan sat in the sun-soaked
stand opposite the Pavilion.Those five words came to mind when Nick Browne
pressed forward and left a delivery from Joe Leach, who got one to move into the
left-hander enough to strike his pad in front of the stumps. Off he went with
the scoreboard gleaming 1 for 1. But as the dominant passages that engulfed
those two blips indicated, even the most pessimistic fan would have left with a
smile. Who knows, they may have joined the gaggle of well-oiled punters
screeching Theres only one David Masters as Chelmsford closed up for the
evening. After a sedate start, with Daryl Mitchell and Brett DOliveira reaching
35 for none, it was that David Masters who produced a remarkable spell which saw
him take five wickets in the space of 32 balls, for the concession of just two
runs.The first three fell in the 13th over, Masters second running from Hayes
Close, as Ryan ten Doeschate asked the 38-year-old to try his luck from the less
favourable end. DOliveira gave ten Doeschate a catch at bat-pad, Tom Fell
overbalanced to the off side and was struck in front before Joe Clarke misjudged
the line badly enough to be bowled past his outside edge, despite the ball
moving in. Worcestershire skipper Mitchell was then given out lbw for the fourth
before Ross Whiteley was bowled through the gate to hand Masters his first
Championship five-wicket haul since 2014.It was from 48 for 5 where Rhodes and
Coxs resistance began, but both raised half-centuries. Cox in particular looked
in fine touch, bringing up his with 11 fours, compared to Rhodes, who took the
steady approach to raise a second fifty of the season, off 107 balls. But one
drive too many from Cox saw him caught at cover to give Jamie Porter his 50th
Championship wicket of the season. Further help from Leach allowed
Worcestershire to breach 200, before he and West Indies quick Miguel Cummins, on
Worcestershire debut, gave Masters his sixth and seventh wicket of the innings,
respectively.The wicket of Browne was as good as it got for Worcestershires
bowlers, who toiled till close and were jeered off by a partisan group who had
made full use of the hospitality bar to the left of the Pavilion. Tom Westleys
unbeaten innings of 58 provided them with some late entertainment, as he
registered a 10th score of fifty or more with some gorgeous shots through
midwicket, a pair of straight drives taking him to 51 from 74 deliveries. The
knock also made him the first Essex batsman to pass 1000 Championship runs this
season (the first time he has achieved the feat).It feels like most of those
runs have come with England captain Alastair Cook watching on from the other
end, something which will undoubtedly work in his favour when Cook sits down
with selectors to determine the make-up of the Test squad to tour this winter.
Cook himself looked in good order, unbeaten on 43. However, he should not have
made it past 12 when Leach, the pick of the visiting bowlers, drew him into a
poke outside off stump. The chance, presented to Rhodes at third slip, was put
down.
Chris Doleman Youth Jersey . He was followed
closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one
night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season
game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular
season.
