Thy fearful symmetry
Essex 159 all out.
Imran took four balls after lunch to trap Carter lbw and round off a spell of three for seven in 22 balls.
Warwickshire require 155 to win.
They have made 155 every time they have batted here in the championship since 1980.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Interesting stat just broadcast on TMS, Brian.... that no Warwickshire player has ever scored a Test century at Edgbaston.
When you consider that includes Lara, Amiss, er, Bell... that's quite something
(if it's correct, of course... they didn't sound 100 per cent sure)
Indeed. And another interesting stat to emerge today (from the statistical powerhouse that is Radio WM's Mike Taylor) is that the famous Ashes Test at Edgbaston in 1981 was the first post-war Test to feature no individual half-century.
This match is, of course, progressing along similar lines.
