Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope are grinding it out for Surrey.
They've been ticking along at little more than two an over for more than an hour now.
Essex will want more wickets, but they'll be pleased they've kept things tight. At least they don't have to bowl to Darren Stevens I guess.

An amazing turnaround for Kent, who have recovered from 39-5 (and 112-5 at lunch) to a record partnership for the sixth wicket against Yorkshire.
The unbroken partnership of 277 is also the highest ever stand for the sixth wicket at Headingley.
Even Kent's record sixth wicket partnership of 315 (set by Aravinda de Silva and Mark Ealham against Notts at Trent Bridge in 1995) could be under threat here.
Darren Stevens resumes on 191 with his captain Sam Billings on 87.
Hants 196 v Somerset 17-1

Now the umpires are back on to take a light reading. No players though.
Notts 306-4 v Warwickshire
Joe Clarke becomes the second Notts man to go to a century today.
The right-hander clips Oliver Hannon-Dalby through mid-wicket to bring up his second hundred of the season.
Steven Mullaney departed before tea for 179. Notts looking strong.
Hants 196 v Somerset 12-1

Payney: Room for Darren Stevens on the plane to NZ & SA? #oneforthefuture
Can he play white-ball cricket?
Hants 196 v Somerset 12-1
Nothing to see here, folks. Just the 11 wickets in little more than two sessions of play.
Kyle Abbott gets one to hoop in to Murali Vijay - who plays all round it and is struck on the pad.
That's plumb.
Yorkshire v Kent 316-5 - tea
Utter dominance from Darren Stevens in that afternoon session...

Fidel Edwards will share the new ball with Keith Barker.
Murali Vijay and Steve Davies are the Somerset openers.
Essex v Surrey 65-2
You feel this is a big conclusion to the season for Ollie Pope, having missed most of it through injury.
He'll have high hopes of making England's winter tours to New Zealand and South Africa.
The 21-year-old guides a sharp lifter from Aaron Beard behind point to move up to 14. It was aerial but he kept his eye on it beautifully.

Adam Lyth bowls to Sam Billings, who dabs it into the off side for one to get Darren Stevens back on strike.
He's on 191. His highest ever score is 208. Four balls to go till tea.
Stevens defends and he'll renew his demolition of the Yorkshire bowling in 20 minutes.
What a session. Kent were 39-5 this morning!

Duanne Olivier is back and Darren Stevens drives the pace man off the back foot through the covers for four.
A leg side ball runs away off his pads for four leg byes.
At the other end Ajaz Patel is belted over mid-wicket for another Stevens six!
He's on 182 and that's the Kent 300. The partnership is a whopping 265.
That dwarfs the previous Kent record against Yorkshire for the 6th wicket, 235 set by Graham Cowdrey and Steve Marsh at Canterbury in 1992.
Notts 301-4 v Warwickshire
Notts lose their fourth wicket at Trent Bridge, and that's tea.

Hants 196 v Somerset
That's an early tea so we'll get back to this one in 20 minutes.
Hampshire miss out on a batting point by four runs.
It would've been a much bigger margin without Liam Dawson's 103, though.
How crucial is that going to be for their hopes of a top three finish?
They began this game in fourth, five points behind Yorkshire.
