Where's Knack Pallett when you need him?

Essex 135 for 7 (54 overs). Walker 36, Masters 26.

The eighth-wicket pair have so far added 37 against a bowling attack which has lost Carter, who limped off midway through an over.

Walker has scored nine runs in an hour but is doing a superb job for Essex.

If Warwickshire have to chase more than 150, Essex will consider themselves favourites.
