Yep, need to kick on now, we don't want it to get to a run a ball.

I've not watched a lot of Championship cricket these last years, but a couple of misfields aside I have to say I'm quite impressed with the standard. Good contests on good pitches.

I think we had it in the bag already but bringing a part timer on in this situation is a really poor decision, they're just milking him for cheap runs with no effort.

Typically he then gets Hain with a pretty poor delivery that Hain tried to smash to the fence.

Superb win and great disciplined batting today. Vihari was very unlucky to get a really bad decision against him. Really happy for Yates after 3 pretty poor knocks. This is a really good, and fairly young, team they've put together.

Well done you Bears! The batting looks a lot more solid and disciplined this season. What a great knock by Rob Yates! Vihari did well and was out to a poor decision from the umpire. Importantly this will give the squad great belief and confidence going forward.

As an Essex fan I have to say congratulations to The Bears.

A very convincing and well deserved win.  >:(

Credible draw for The Shire thanks to a last wicket stand after following on against Hants
