Essex vs Worcestershire

[Top of the JES]

The County Championship starts today, going to be cold at Chelmsford for the first game. Essex won the toss and bat. Those like me who have nothing better to do today can access live streaming here. https://www.essexcricket.org.uk/

Brilliant!

It's also on Youtube (300 watching). Browne's in a short sleeved jumper, Cook's in layers. Toppers is commentating and is in good form already.

Hope to be looking in often this season. Can't believe cricket is back

Ructions in the commentary box. Sounds like Davis is brawling with Big Kev (on loan from Radio 5 Live) while Newman's unleashed a massive soliloquy on his covid vaccination. Meanwhile a cuckoo is in fine voice somewhere nearby and Toppers has played already more big shots than the openers combined.

207-3 at close. Hopefully not long before we can get back to Chelmsford in the flesh.

Cricket back - yesssssss - that's why the wind off the North Sea in this part of deepest, darkest Suffolk has been soooooo cold these last 2 days. Brrrrrrr

Scoring well, now for Porter and Harmer to do their stuff when The Pears bat.

Got that wrong, it's Cooky leading the way, taking the first 3 wickets. Go Essex.
