An effective trimming of the tail

Essex 341 all out.

Warwickshire complete an effective trimming of the tail when Martin gets one to lift outside off-peg and Palladino edges to Ambrose.

It's a slightly above-par total, we reckon. Essex's seamers will have enjoyed the way that last wicket fell - there's a bit for the pacemen in this wicket so the Bears will have to bat well.
