    Harmer's definitely getting some turn now. Imperative that we get a first innnings lead from here.

    My first impressions of Varma are: Can we keep him for longer than 4 games please! Can we also sign him for next season if possible.

    H 184 - 4 Tea. I wanted to say how well Varma was playing, knowing that the moment I said it, he would pop up a dolly! Harmer v Varma has been an entertaining watch...

    As you would expect being Indian, Varma looks very assured playing spin bowling. Very useful when playing Essex!

    I think it’s a way of keeping the proper batters focussed! Josh Davey and Lewis Gregory opened a few games ago!

    An actual batting point!

    Amazing what happens when you recruit well, especially regarding overseas.

    Very solid day. Not said that too often this season.

    Hopefully we can get up to 400 tomorrow.

    Pretty much a perfect day. Now to bat well into tomorrow and instead of Harmer bowling on day 4 it will be Dawson.
