1.5 to GM Smith, short ball pitching outside off and Smith throws his bat, with the intention of clearing cover, at it instead carries behind square to third man where Lee Daggett waits patiently at third man, and completes the catch. First wicket down for Essex. 13/1

4.4 to HD Rutherford, short ball on middle and Rutherford gets back to pull this through midwicket, but ends up mistiming it as it balloons to Alex Wakely at midwicket. 44/2
15.4 to RN ten Doeschate, full and wide again and Ryan, looking to hit this over extra-cover, ends up spooning behind square straight to Richard Levi at third man. Big wicket for Northants as we head into the business end of the innings. 114/5

10.3 to ML Pettini, fuller length on middle and off. Pettini dances down with the intent of hitting it over deep midwicket, but ends up getting a top-edge which flies straight up, with the wicketkeeper getting under it to complete a safe catch. Timely wicket for Northants. 79/3

11.2 to RS Bopara, short of a length outside off and Bopara heaves this over midwicket as the ball carries to deep midwicket. He hit this out of the middle, but it has travelled higher than it has gone further, as Spriegel waits on the boundary to complete the catch. 82/4

12.2 to AG Wakely, uh oh, Northants are stalling now, he's tried to turn a length ball off the pad to leg and has ended up getting a leading edge to the bowler. 93/3

8.2 to KJ Coetzer, straight to mid off, he got far across the stumps, outside off in fact, trying to use the angle probably, but ends up slamming a full delivery to the fielder, simple take. 74/1
10.1 to RE Levi, Levi is gone with a glance and two at the square leg umpire, it was a high full toss from round the stumps, and a surprised Levi can only shovel it weakly for long on to run in and take the catch, very close to being above waist height, but not close enough. 83/2
