2.6 pulled straight to deep square leg! Cook makes the breakthrough for Essex after a fast start. Solid hit from McDermott but it didn't have the legs out towards the Family Stand 39/1

3.5 full ball, Vince backs away.... holes out to mid-off! Snater turns mid-pitch and lets out a roar. Tried to make room for the inside-out chip but was a touch cramped and hit a firm drive to his opposite number, a straightforward catch inside the ring for Harmer. He punches the air in celebration, Essex land another big blow 43/2

6.3 flighted legbreak, Prest goes for a big slog-sweep and is beaten, the ball deflecting off the back leg through to Rossington. Not given but Essex like it and Harmer calls for a review. No bat involved, and Hawk-Eye has it hitting middle! Martin Saggers overturns his decision and Essex have a third 57/3

9.3 slapped high into the off side... taken! Good running catch from Critchley and Hampshire losing another batter cheaply. Big hoick at a flat, skiddy delivery angled across from round the wicket, Dawson doesn't get hold of it and the result is a big top edge 78/4

14.2 blapped down the ground... straight to long-on! Snater juggled the catch but held on, Essex keep chipping away. Looked like Fuller actually hit that better than he intended, not Critchley's best ball but it flew hard and flat to the man set back 110/5

16.5 miscued high in the air to backward point! Whiteley's stay is short and uneventful as he looks to make room and muscle the ball back down the ground, only succeeds in getting a big top edge that Cook settles under on the edge of the fielding circle 130/6

19.6 into the pitch, Howell holes out to deep midwicket! Snater is the man out on the rope in front of the Hollies again, and he holds this one safely. Sams finishes with a wicket but Hampshire have got themselves something to bowl at 170/6

0.3 Gone! Looked a sound connection from Rossington as he whipped Wood off his hip, but it's brilliantly caught from Hampshire's man-of-the-hour, who scampers along the sponge, puts in a dive at the end and takes a fantastic grab 2/1

5.5 Another! And what a wicket it is... Lawrences tries to pump Fuller over to the leg side but under-estimates the bounce and nicks through to the keeper 48/3

5.3 Gone! Pepper's awkward innings comes to an end as his skews right down to Turner at deep third, who runs in and just manages the cling on 47/2

6.2 So, so, so out! Walter steps across and gets pinned right in front of middle, with a speculative review showing the ball would have gone on to hit middle-and-off. Easiest decision any umpire will have to give today... 50/4

9.6 Huge wicket! A stunning catch from Whiteley on the fence. Sams tries to carve Ellis over cover, but the tall Whiteley leaps to meet the ball at his highest point, landing safely back on his feet and, most importantly, with the ball neatly pouched 95/5
