Browne 4, Cook 0
Nick Browne slashes at a wide one from Craig Overton to start and it flies past third slip and down to the boundary.
Browne then plays and misses. Nervy times out there for the out-of-form Essex opener.

The ball was quite old and Somerset were always going to come quite aggressively at Essex this morning.
Somerset will be happy with how those eight overs went moving the score along nicely.
It's all set up for a fascinating new ball burst from the Somerset bowlers.
The top order batsmen for Essex will look to play the ball on the merits.
Target 237
The players are making their way back out at Lord's.

Expensive over from Jamie Porter. 13 off it, including that big six by Craig Overton.

Somerset are playing it just about right.
It's very hard to get boundaries here, it's not that sort of pitch and you've got five or six men on the boundary.
Somerset 257-7 (lead by 221)
SMASH!
Craig Overton swats Jamie Porter over cow corner for a big maximum. They're going for it now.
Overton 30, Davey 12
What a bit of fielding that is from Paul Walter!
Craig Overton launches Simon Harmer towards the long-on boundary, it's going for six, but Walter scoops it back with one hand and back into play. They run two.
Five off the over in total.

Somerset are dealing in singles. Four of them off Jamie Porter's over, plus a leg-bye. Porter had a shout for lbw against Josh Davey but it looked to be sliding down.
Overton 23, Davey 10
Plenty of singles available with this field Adam.
Four of them off Simon Harmer's over as the lead grows to 205.

Peculiar passage of play to start the day this.
I thought Essex would come out and have a go at knocking over these last three Somerset wickets quickly to set up the target, but Tom Westley has gone ultra-defensive and stuck lots of fielders back on the rope.
They're happy to let Somerset build this lead for now.
A draw will give them the trophy, but Jamie Porter was speaking last night that they would be going all out for the win.
Lead by 201
Just a single to Josh Davey off Jamie Porter's over.
Definitely a hands in pockets sort of morning...

Martin P Wilson: Somerset might be tempted to gamble and put Essex straight in this morning. They can only win by bowling Essex out. So challenge them with a gettable total, maximise bowling time Essex have nothing to lose by playing slow & batting for a draw.
Well, they're batting on for now at least.
Overton 21, Davey 7
Josh Davey reverse sweeps Simon Harmer to the rope and then picks up a single to take the lead to 200.
How many overs will Somerset want to bowl at Essex? 80? 88 remain in the day.

Somerset have got to be prepared to take a risk and they will have to be positive in outlook.
They have got to find a way of getting Alastair Cook out.
Harmer 28-9-79-2
Spinner Simon Harmer will take the second over of the day...
Lead by 195
Intent from Craig Overton. The Somerset all-rounder biffs Jamie Porter over his head, one bounce and four. They're the only runs off the over.
Leaden skies at Lord's.

Here we go then. The final day of this highly-enjoyable Bob Willis Trophy competition.
Sam Cook bowls one delivery to complete his over from last night after they went off for bad light.
Jamie Porter will bowl the first proper over of the day.
