I expect Essex to win now. Should be able to hit the runs needed in the last 2-3 overs.

Somerset must be thinking..........if only !!
Feel rather sorry for them, in recent years, they have been so close to winning the County Championship but never quite got over the line !
''Somerset have never won the County Championship, their highest finish being second, which they achieved in 2001, 2010, 2012, 2016 and 2018.''

Don’t think Essex can possibly lose, even if eight more men walk it takes a couple of minutes to get one off and one on.

We are the champions

I don’t think I will ever see again two of the loves of my life - Essex and Leyton Orient - both champions in the same year

Well done to both
