It's been a while since I've brought an update from Chelmsford.
Essex are off to a solid start following on, with Nick Browne and Varun Chopra showing plenty of application, but they're now off for bad light.
There are still 25 overs remaining - not sure we'll get all those in.

Daryl Mitchell pokes at one outside off stump from Kyle Abbott and it flies to Ian Holland at first slip.
Notts 448 v Yorkshire 220-3
Gary Ballance reaches a marvellous century for Yorkshire.
The left-hander gets there off just 121 balls in this high-scoring game at Trent Bridge.
Result: Somerset tie with Lancashire
That tie with Lancashire means Somerset's chances of winning a first ever County Championship title become even harder.
If Surrey beat Essex as expected, they'll take 22 points and move 43 clear with three games remaining.
Worcs 120 v Hampshire 191 & 176

Somerset tie with Lancashire
Both sides take 11 points from the game, with eight for the tie.
It does Somerset's title chances no good at all, with Surrey likely to beat Essex.
Somerset tie with Lancashire
I believe that's the first tie in the County Championship since Essex drew with Warwickshire in 2003.
Lancashire's last tie was in 1952, and Somerset's was in 1939. Yep, you've just witnessed something rather mind-blowing!
