Edgbaston (third day of four): Essex 205 (Gilchrist 4-40, Bamber 3-44) and 11-0 need 195 runs to beat Warwickshire 190 and 220 (Webster 91, Cook 5-58)
Should Warwickshire win this quietly superb game, Bears supporters might reflect on the moment half an hour before tea on Sunday afternoon when Beau Webster decided to reverse-sweep Simon Harmer. Such strokes have long been viewed by professionals as no more difficult than the off-drive but Webster top-edged his shot, high but not quite out of reach, to Jamie Porter at backward point. Porter tottered backwards, got two hands to the ball…and dropped it.
