Draw incoming, Essex 93-3.
Two draws from two which isn’t terrible but lack of bonus points has been annoying
Should be battering Somerset next week

Bonus points changed this year :
How does the LV= Insurance County Championship scoring system work?
A team is awarded 16 points for a victory, with both sides earning eight points for a tie and five points apiece if a match is drawn. Any points scored in the first innings is added on.If the scores are equal in a drawn match where play has taken place, the side batting in the fourth innings scores eight points plus any points scored in the first innings, and the opposing side scores eight points plus any points scored in the first innings.
First Innings Points are awarded only for performances in the first 110 overs of each first innings and retained whatever the result of the match.
Batting Points
250 to 299 runs - 1 point
300 to 349 runs - 2 points
350 to 399 runs - 3 points
400 to 449 runs - 4 points
450 runs or over - 5 points
Bowling Points
3 to 5 wickets taken - 1 point
6 to 8 wickets taken - 2 points
9 to 10 wickets taken - 3 points
If a match is abandoned without a ball being bowled, each side scores five points.
If penalty runs are awarded to a team which at that time had faced less than 110 overs in their first innings, or completed their first innings before they had faced 110 overs, those penalty runs will be considered as counting towards the total as far as the award of bonus points is concerned.
If penalty runs are awarded to a team which had already faced 110 overs or more in their first innings, or had previously completed their first innings after they had faced 110 overs, those penalty runs will not be considered as counting towards the total as far as the award of bonus points is concerned.
If the match is abandoned due to an unfit pitch, the home team receives zero points and any bonus points already achieved are rescinded. The visiting team are awarded 16 points plus bonus points already achieved or 20 points - whichever is the greater at the time of abandonment
For tie-breaker purposes, the home side are credited with the loss and the away team gain the win.
The side with the highest aggregate of points gained at the end of the season are crowned Champion County of their respective Division.
Yeah I know, but Surrey have already stolen a march with theirs - think they took 7/8 off Lancs

Boooo!
Dunno why they persist with Warner. Can see him getting dropped after a game. Is an ok squad but they’ll need someone to get runs apart from Smith and Labuschagne. Quicks are maybe past their best as well.

Apparently it's only for Test Championship and first 2 tests
Khawaja has been getting runs at the top of the order. That looks like a strong squad to me. Should be a close contest with some exciting cricket
