Essex were reeling at 47/3 at stumps, still trailing by 137 runs.

This day was headed by Jamie Porter's 5-49, who along with Siddle (3-47) and import Abbott (2-45)
derailed to a modest total on a good pitch, actually.

Rory Burns top-scored for his team with a captain's knock of 62.
He was supported by Sam Hain who got out for 33, while useful runs from Rikki Clarke helped them to reach 184.

Sam Curran ended the day on a sour note for Essex as they lost both Cook and Root, along with Westley, at a score below 50.
Essex need their inconsistent players to score tomorrow, otherwise........

Surrey are the favorites to win this match as they end the day with lead of 150 runs.

Sam Curran was at it again with a magnificent 4 wicket-haul. The pocket dynamite was well supported by Morkel.
And to top it off, Sam Hain and Scott Borthwick registered useful 30s to give Surrey enough runs on the board.

Essex are looking forward to Porter once again to restrict Surrey tomorrow.
Hopefully, their bowling will save the blushes.

Sam Curran is the man again!
Useful 30 runs from him as Surrey set a target of 277.
Mohammad Amir gets a 5-fer as he destroyed Surrey's middle order.

Essex knows their chasing has been woeful but @Na Maloom Afraad will hope better!

The tide has tilted!

Alastair Cook and Joe Root make their experience count.
Cook attacked his way to 87 and the medium pacers of Surrey had no answer to him. (Morkel bowled only 3)
Mohammad Amir collected 5 wickets.

Amar Virdi striked timely for Surrey as they look to go all guns blazing on Essex tomorrow.

The pitch is getting flatter as each day passes.
Only time will tell if it is Essex or Surrey!

Surrey       184/10 & 237/10

Mohammad Amir, you beauty! What an incredible comeback from Essex. Hopefully we don't muck this up. [HASHTAG]#fingerscrossed[/HASHTAG]

Essex vs Lancashire it will be!

Sam Billings came up with an important contribution to win Essex the game.
Bopara and Tendo supported Billing very well in a small but tricky chase

Amar Virdi's efforts went in vain as he finished with a 5-fer.

The pitch is getting flatter as each day passes.
Only time will tell if it is Essex or Surrey!

Lancashire looking comfortable at the end of Day 1

Ravi Ashwin, Graham Onions and Anderson made life hell for Essex as highest score by their batsman was 33.
While Ashwin got 4 wickets, Jimmy and Graham got 3 each.

Joe Root, Billings and Tom Westley were the only batsmen who had a score of substance.
And even that was not enough as Essex could not even cross 150!

Essex would look to Harmer to strike tomorrow!

Peter Siddle provides the finishing touch as he ends with 4 scalps.

Surprisingly, Jennings had the highest score for his team!

This small lead might prove to be the difference in the end!

Do we have a twist in fate?

Peter Siddle and Harmer lead the Essex attack as they managed a lead of 23 runs.
Siddle took 4 while Harmer had 3.

In the 2nd innings, Ashwin was once again at the forefront for his team but fifties
from Cook and Root had Lancs in trouble
after the end of Day 2!

Daniel Lawrence (8*) will need to shepherd the tail if Essex are to win the trophy!
