Warwickshire, 190 and 220, beat Essex, 205 and 164, by 41 runs.
Keith Barker marked his return to Warwickshire with a match-winning wicket-haul as Essex were defeated by 41 runs in a gripping Rothesay County Championship Division One match at Edgbaston.
Chasing 206 to win, Essex were bowled out for 164 after a top order implosion left them 21 for four. Luc Benkenstein made a career-best 39 (93 balls) and debutant Zaman Akhter (35, 68) and Simon Harmer (32, 57) added 51 for the ninth wicket to set up a tense finish.
