By Brian Halford, ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay Rothesay County Championship - Day 1: Warwickshire, 113/7, lead Essex by 113 runs.
A superb opening spell from Jamie Porter put Essex in command of Warwickshire on a rain-hit opening day of their Rothesay County Championship fixture at Edgbaston.
Porter blasted out Essex’s top three with the new ball and ended the day with four for 36 as Warwickshire limped to 113 for seven before rain wiped out the last session. Sam Hain defied with skill and sound judgment for an unbeaten 44 from 93 balls but Porter, well supported by three other seamers who all took a wicket, provided Essex with the strong day they needed to bounce back from last week's ten-wicket defeat to Somerset.
