    10.3 lift outside off stump from round the wicket, a thick edge, low into the cordon and scooped up by Browne at fourth slip! Siddle strikes in his first over 22/1

    58.4 whoops, that's quite the misjudgment! Length ball from Siddle, nip off the seam, pegs back the off stump! Burgess shoulders arms, and slumps at the crease as he hears the death rattle. He did all the hard work 132/6

    69.2 well, that's the way to wrap things up. A perfect off-stump line, shaping into the right-hander, Bresnan is drawn into a defensive push, and Cook at first slip gives his namesake a third 166/10

    61.3 sharp from Harmer at second slip! That was almost behind him as he grabbed it one-handed to his right, a fence from Stone on an off-stump line. Another one bites the dust 141/7

    68.2 back of a length, a limp cut and a soft steer to a diving Walter at point! Siddle has five, and Essex have the breakthrough 166/8

    3.4 tight line outside off from round the wicket, Browne presses forward, a feather through to the keeper. Warwickshire have their opening 9/1

    35.2 opens the face on the drive, and Cook has scuffed it straight to gully! That carefree off-side repertoire is Sir Alastair's downfall once again - you wouldn't have caught him doing that in 2010-11. Round the wicket from Rhodes, full length, wide line, inviting the drive, and claiming the error! 100/4
