That sums up Essex's campaign so far. They were cruising that run-chase, and somehow manage to lose by one run.
 
As expected.

Turning point was Dawson failing to run-out Goldsworthy, early in his innings, despite having all three stumps to aim at.

But it really doesn't matter. Tomorrow is the important one to win.
 
Overton is the best new-ball bowler in the Blast. He bowled excellently at Pretorius.

The guy can clearly bat.
Oh I don't doubt he can bat - and he wasn't facing Overton for all of those 20 dot balls. But he's there to get the innings off to a flyer, not bat deep. If he bats the entire PP, he should have a 50 unless Vince has more of the strike. If he scores another 15 runs from those 20 dots we likely win the game.
