They will be mightily frustrated at letting things slip on day three when Yorkshire were 273-8 in reply to a first-innings Matthew Revis and Ben Coad were the ones to turn the tide for Yorkshire, new-ball seamer Jack White supplemented their good work with an excellent 4-37 from 20.1 overs in the second innings and seven wickets in the Revis hit a first-innings 150 and struck once with the ball on Wednesday, removing England fringe batter Jordan Cox for 55. Seamer Coad hit a career-best 89 and completed an excellent 3-33 from 17 struck three times during a 55-minute morning session which was bookended by rain. Coad and new-ball partner White did the damage as Essex slipped to 48-6 in 28 overs. The visitors had started on Simon Harmer sliced a low catch to Abdullah Shafique diving forwards at gully, handing Coad a third wicket of the innings, before White trapped Matt Critchley lbw pushing forwards and sent Charlie Allison's off-stump was due to restart following an early lunch, though more rain briefly delayed things as the players scuttled back in when ready to play did get under way, with a minimum of 68 overs remaining and Essex 48-6, Cox and Michael Pepper frustrated the hosts by sharing 59 to take their county into the was somewhat of a surprise to see Cox drive expansively against Revis' seam, getting an under-edge behind shortly after reaching his fifty off 89 balls. That left Essex at 107-7, leading by it was bordering on shock when Pepper edged behind a similarly aggressive cut against White almost seven overs later, leaving Essex at 114-8 with a lead of Bess's off-spin bowled Noah Thain shortly afterwards before White wrapped things up by getting Khaleel Ahmed caught at second slip by Adam Lyth, signalling the break, Yorkshire dotted the i's and crossed the t's on a 20-point haul to jump up to eighth in the Lyth and Fin Bean, the latter on his home ground, reached the target in nine overs.

Post Essex 191-4 (target 520) v Yorks There are a minimum of 40 overs remaining at Chelmsford, which should be plenty of time for Yorkshire to pick up six wickets. But they haven't taken one since the 17th over of this Essex innings last night - more than 66 overs ago - and Ben Coad and Jack White really need to make something happen quickly with this second new ball. Matt Critchley has just edged ahead of partner Michael Pepper again, with 65 runs to the latter's 64.

Six of the best for Hill as Tykes take charge
Rothesay County Championship Division One, Ambassador Cruise Line Ground, Chelmsford (day two)Yorkshire 216: Wharton 63*, Lyth 58; Critchley 4-49 & 114-1: Lyth 79*Essex 123: Pepper 30; Hill 6-51, Coad 3-20Essex 3 pts, Yorkshire 3 ptsMatch scorecard George Hill produced the second-best bowling figures of his burgeoning first-class career as Essex were routed for 123 before Yorkshire extended their lead to 207 runs at 24-year-old seamer added four wickets for 37 runs on the second day to finish with 6-51 – numbers only eclipsed by his 6-26 in the Roses Match at Old Trafford in 2022 – and 19 wickets in all this season in the Rothesay County Herculean effort, backed up by fellow pace bowler Ben Coad's parsimonious 3-20 from 18 overs, helped Yorkshire establish a first-innings lead of 93, which they increased by 114 for the loss of one wicket in 49 opener Adam Lyth led the way in taking the game away from Essex with an unbeaten 166-ball 79, his fifth score of 50 or more in 10 innings so far this spring.A capricious pitch offered more lift and carry than it had on the first day. Whereas Yorkshire's first innings had been underpinned by five lbws, Essex's was littered with catches to either the wicketkeeper or slip cordon. Hill was the main was also still a wicket that was difficult to score on: Essex managed two an over compared to Yorkshire's 2.5 in their first innings and 2.3 so far in the the day belonged to Hill as he continued where he left off the night before. He already had Robin Das in trouble during the first 25 minutes of the day before he induced a thick edge that flew to third slip and initiated an inexorable Critchley followed to a similar dismissal, dangling his bat at Coad and also ending up in Finlay Bean's hands at third Westley played a captain's innings for more than two hours before he became another victim in a tight opening spell from Coad, who found the faintest of edges from an angled second wicket of the morning marked the end of his opening burst of nine overs with five maidens and 10 runs. At that stage, Hill had 1-27 in the session from his nine 59-6, Michael Pepper and Noah Thain pieced together a minor fightback with a stand of 46 in 17 overs. Neither, though, looked comfortable when spinner Dan Moriarty was introduced into the attack and when Pepper lunged forward to try and negate any turn, he could only nick end was not much longer in coming. Though Thain greeted Hill's recall to arms with a glorious drive through extra cover for his fourth boundary, an attempt at an ambitious and expansive straighter drive at the fifth delivery proved his Snater became Jonny Bairstow's fifth catch behind the stumps when he went to fend off a fuller ball while Kasun Rajitha lasted just three balls before he walked into another Hill delivery and was Lyth and Bean had given Yorkshire what should have been a solid platform in the first innings with an opening stand of 71 before the subsequent collapse to 216 all out. The pair were intent on replicating that partnership, though without any frills or passed fifty for the second time in the match – this time from 106 balls – at which point Bean had contributed just 14 to the effort. With another five runs to his tally, equalling his top score in a season of personal struggle, Bean went to pull Thain and got a leading edge. The partnership had been worth Wharton, unbeaten with a painstaking 63 in the first innings, threw caution to the wind and launched Critchley on to the press box roof and into the river Reporters Network supported by Rothesay
