37 wickets in 2 days - wasn't that long ago Somerset were preparing spinner's wickets. Our second innings was rather poor. Yes it was a bowlers' wicket but some of our batters were out to poor shots eg Elgar - 10 runs for the whole match. Top until next weekend, be great if Surrey lose.

Weather permitting someone will win it

3 down. Could be a low scoring match.

Here in Wales the voting is almost solely for Police Commissioners. It will be interesting as Support for Labour is falling away. The 20 mph saga and Vaughan Gething's donations has thrown the spotlight on the Govt of Wales which has been Labour over the past 25 years. A year ago Starmer was calling...

Great news - this guy is something special. He seems absolutely delighted to continue - he loves our club. Sounds like a very positive thing and there are players who love playing for him and for the club. Transfers etc could be interesting!

My sincerest thanks. The MB is a such big source of news, info, rumours and opinion for in S Wales.

All forgiven - Khushi has played a superb innings, and now that Browne has settled in it's tea and Durham haven't taken a wicket in that session. We've also avoided the follow on. Tomorrow looks like a washout. Looking like a draw, unless Durham decide to give us something to chase and win on Monday.

Good to finish the season with a win - well done O's. A season that might have been different had it not been for the injuries.

Yep, the Jonah effect. Khushi's very disciplined at the moment. Need a big innings from him today.

A very good half for us, but I'd like to see more direct forward stuff, rather than this back and side stuff. Unless we see a different Shrews 2nd half yhe chance is there for more goals.

The summer of speculation has begun. COYO's and finish on a high.

Good day's play. We must bat well tomorrow and try and get a lead - Monday could be a washout.

I'll go for a win. Many thanks for the weekly reminder of an Orient legend!

This is an awesome Essex side, probably heresy but I'm sorti of pleased that Cook's retired, Elgar's come in and Browne's in the 2 XI. Snater's a revelation this season - all bodes well.

Listening to the match but watching Essex. Looks good, sounds dour.

Got to go for an O's win.

Every match a draw - thanks to the weather in some cases. But, because clubs are drawing the League table at this early stage is very congested. Very disappointed but the big plus for me is that signing Elgar and Cox , plus our bowling attack Essex look more than capable of winning the championship....

Derek Underwood Kent and England spinner. RIP

Did we go down to NL with Chesterfield?

309 ahead as I write. Weather permitting a good day tomorrow

Oh well, roll on the end of the season.

Are we attacking at all? Sounds as though it's relentless onw way traffic from Derby.

Afternoon all. Perfect for me - listening to the O's and watching the stream for Essex CCC. COYO's!!!!

Seems that the groundsman can't produce a win pitch this early in the season - for the third season running. This looks like a long boring match.

I'm getting very impressed with this Essex batting. If Westley could get going it would be awesome.
