preview for essex in LANCS vs ESSEX

Tom Westley will feel proud heading into this home game. They began the season well, defeating Middlesex in the last game by 97 runs. It was a great effort from their bowling team in the last game. Westley will expect a better show from his batsmen, as they stumbled in the last game and didn’t build partnerships.  

Nick Browne and Alastair Cook got starts in the last game, and the side would like to see them turn them into a big score. Daniel Lawrence scored a hundred and will look to build partnerships in this game with Westley and Matthew Critchley. The side bats deep, and they shall expect runs from Adam Rossington and Simon Harmer.  

The bowlers will be strong after their uses in the last game. New ball bowlers Jamie Porter and Sam Cook had a great game, and they must strike early for the side to feel confident. Shane Snater, Ben Allison, and Harmer also did well and must deliver a strong performance in the supporting side.
