Said he was hit and miss. He hasn't got a great record in South Africa but fair play to him tonight. He has certainly enjoyed batting on our postage stamp of a ground.

I have just looked him up and he is now a specialist T20 player and he is not short of clubs to play for. Fair play to Surrey, they gave it a go chasing a big total. Four hundred runs in 30 overs was great value for money for the crowd.

Essex all out for 114 and then bowl Kent out for 40, unbelievable stuff. They need to get their heads down and knock off the 153 required to win the match as Somerset are not doing too well.

Must be a wicked wicket at Canterbury! Will be a big win if Essex can manage it.

Listening on BBC - can't believe what I'm hearing - what a match. Hopefully we can see decent scores from Cook, Westley and Lawrence. The pitch doesn't seem to be too difficult, but the mindsets seem to be a different matter!

1 down.

88 for 6

Big big win for Essex, winning by three wickets.

Pants in the T20 even without the rained off matches but the 4-day game gets better and better.

Go Essex

What a remarkable match! Couldn't bear to listen to the last 50 runs being scored. Well done Essex - that might just be the match that settles the championship.

A great win but Somerset have given themselves a chance in their match.

Great effort Essex least one decent team I support !

26 wickets in a day, with Essex being the top team in the country, shows why we are struggling so much in the batting department of test match cricket

Somerset win by 5 wickets which is a blow, now it's virtually neck and neck.

Yeah, could have done without that, 3 games to go, all to play for.

Taunton born O here, living in London since 1990. Spent every summer watching the likes of Botham, Richards and Garner.
I'll be wanting a Somerset win, for five reasons.
1. Was born there.
2. Never won the county championship.
3. Should have won it in 2010 but lost it on games won.
4. Should have won it 2015 but were cheated out of it by Middlesex who contrived a dodgy result in their last game.
5. They are on for the domestic treble.

Roll on Taunton for the last match.

Match starts 23 Sept. I hope there is good weather for those days. Especially as I’ll be going

A win in the T20 yesterday woooo

Third from bottom which I think is one place above last years effort.

Somerset have signed Murali Vijay for the last three games of the season, he played really well for Essex in their last three games last season.

Still in with a shout of qualifying for T20 finals

Yes went last night played really well - been unlucky with washouts so you never know - the Championship is the key will prob come down to us Vs Somerset !

Essex qualify for the quarter Finals amazing!!!
Away to Lancashire in quarter finals.

Fantastic result! Nice one Galmorgan!!

Amazing, First win for Glamorgan. We can win this. We are on a run
