MATCH ANALYSIS (LUNCH,Day1):

Essex won the toss and decided to bowl first. The bowlers were successful at first troubling the batsman. But still ervine was in total control. Somerset lost their early wicket. Then Bishop and Ervine provided ressistance but it didnt last very long.

The bowlers again started troubling the batsman with their nice line and length. ervine was the quite customer silently watching all these and was contented with rotating the strike.

The two quick wickets of Bishop and Laraman really spreaded the pressure among Somerset fans. Essex captain got excited.

It was now Ervine showed what the actual fireworks means... Yep, ervine started attacking the bolwers. He was playing the ball all over the ground, the ball was smashed in all the directions.

ERVINE GOING EVERYWHERE​

The screenshot shows Ervine going over the bowlers in all directions. The bowlers were clueless!!!! Wilkinson provided a good company.

This is what Ervine said,

The batting was little tough early as the ball was not coming onto the bat. But later, we got used to the conditions and i enjoyed hitting the ball all over the ground :cool: But still we have lot of work to do!!!!

Thts nice to hear from Ervine that he enjoyed going over the bowlers all over the ground!!!

In Essex point of view, they really,

# Got the control of the game at first (by early wicket)
# Lost the control in the middle when Ervine and Bishop rotated the strikes.
# Got back the control by getting two quick wickets when the score was around 86 runs. It was this position, which looked like Essez will finish off Somerset quickly.
# But the things happen in a reverse way, Essex bowlers became clueless because of Ervine's aggressiveness.

So the game really swung to and fro between Somerset and Essex.

AT LUNCH​

The first picture shows the scoring rate!!!! The circled area is the exact point which we were talking about.. i.e Two quick wickets!!! But after that the graph really started deviating.... this is because of Ervine.

Of course, the second picture shows the scores at lunch.
Still the game hasn't fineshed yet... So anything may happen to any team.... As long as Ervine stays, Somerset will be definitely looking for the great score. And for Essex, they have got two things to do... one is they have to controll the scoring rate and other thing is that wickets at regular intervals if they have to stay in the competition.

So there is going to be more twists and turns in the game... Watch it and enjoy it.... The next analysis session will be at the end of the day. Till then Gud bye.

SOMERSET LOST A WICKET

The match proceeded after the lunch!!! The expectations were high on Somerset and Ervine!!!!

But the first ball Ervine faced was the LBW appeal, but was turned down due to the height. There was some shine in Essex bowlers after lunch!!!!

Soon, Essex fans rose from their seat to clap for the players... the reason is they got Wilkinson out!!! yep, the batsman who provided the good support to ervine was dismissed by Lewis. Lewis bowled a beautiful line and Wilkinson was edged to wicket keeper, the result is the caught behind.

Wilkinson was not happy and had a long look at Ervine at another end before returning to pavillion.

Blackwell joins Ervine.......

CAUGHT BEHIND​

Blackwell got off the mark straight away with the single.... it was at this moment important guest visited the ground... it was noone other than the rain!!!

The weather looked bad and was heavy rain for few minutes. As a result, around 40 mins were interrupted... The ground luk little wet.

The inspection is going on... the play will start after getting positive results from the inspection.


SOMERSET : 150/4
Ervine : 85*
