Essex 37-2 (target 330) v Warwickshire
Warwickshire debutant Che Simmons caught the eye during Essex's first innings, taking 3-12 and the Barbadian seamer has just been handed the ball for the first time today.
Simmons' first over yields just a single to Dean Elgar, who is on 18, while there's also a play and miss from Tom Westley. The Essex skipper remains there, nine not out.
