Given that Somerset have just skittled Lancashire for 99, this good start is crucial.1 -

            Wrong to play Pope at 4 in my view.
Stick to the formula that has worked so well this year. Burns and Rocky to open. Harinath at 3 (as Borthwick is injured) Elgar 4 with Foakes and Pope there to kill off any team when they are tired.0 -

Quite possibly. Or maybe they wanted to include Jacks after his key 48 in the last match and he would need to be at 6.lolwray said:

            Foakes takes one 'amidships', and the next ball:
Foakes b Porter 30
279-60 - 
            Currently 309-6, so 3 batting points in the bag. Could do with the full 5 seeing as Somerset looking like they're going to win within 2 days!
T. Curran & Clarke both 21*2 -

            I think the proof of the pudding will be essexs batting ... 350 seems like a very good score2
