Middx v Essex 74-2
Steady away for Essex since lunch with Dan Lawrence and Tom Westley trying to settle into their afternoon’s cricket.
Tom Helm has reeled off six cheap overs for the hosts, who also have Tom Hollman’s leg spin to call on.
They should have had South Africa’s Keshav Maharaj before his bizzare but awful injury celebrating a wicket against West Indies recently.
