GLAMMY

84-3, anyone’s game.

I’m watching USA v Pakistan in the World Cup which has gone to a super over.

3 wickets win

Very good win for Glamorgan considering how the first ten overs.

USA beat Pakistan in the super view.

The Surrey website said pretty similar in their preview. They were predicting Quarter finals or more for us.

We dropped crucial catches in the first but held everything in the second. Hard to know where we are for now.

The batting should see us trouble the best teams at some point, the bowling might mean we're going to take a couple of shellackings too. We need to take care of business against the weaker sides and hope we can get the wind in our sails against the big boys. We play Essex, Hampshire and Somerset after our trip to Lords tomorrow, the table should be starting to take shape by next Friday.

Good points, hopefully Crane keeps taking wickets and the seamers can concentrate on keeping it tight. That small pitch at Chelmsford may well see some runs on Friday!

7-00 start tonight

LAst ball. The Pakistani bowler was not a happy bunny.

Fingers crossed for the win! Another Carlson blitz up top would be great to see !

A brilliant win last night considering the first nine overs. Chelmsford is always a tough place to go but we have the batting firepower to win

Essex were top tossers, and have put us in to bat. time to make them regret that decision!

Where do they stream these?

YouTube. Just search Essex cricket and you'll get the official stream.

Struggling here on this pitch....40-2 after 8 overs

What we reckon then? Pitch or poor batting display. The way that Carlson and Marnus struggled makes me veer towards pitch. Hoping Ingram and douthwaite could be big here, maybe heft rather than timing can get us a flurry of boundaries.

Commentators seem to think 166-8 is a good score but looks light to me

Great from Ingram. Watching on my phone in a pub showing the England game so didn't catch much commentary, but from the little bits of commentary I did hear they seemed to think it was a 150 pitch.

Carlson and Marnus struggled to get it away at times, but they kept playing their shots and built us a decent base.

Liked the intent by timm on 18.6. Alleyne(despite his team picking woes) and Bradburn seem to have given us a licence and encouraged an intent that we haven't had before. Ok, he got caught on the boundary. But his job with that ball was to load up and belt it, hopefully get a 6, but if not ingrams still on strike for last over. Under Maynard's regime I think the pressure there would be to get a single.

Over to the bowlers

Think I was being under pessimistic by saying it was a little light. Looks all over after just 6 overs!

Essex is a 200 ground at any time. Highly optimistic to think this was a tricky target.

100/4

looked like it was going to be a walkover but if glamorgan can get wickets they might get something

102/5

lots of overs for Essex but wickets a concern

5 now. This could be on !

6 down / 105

6 down now.

7 down.

Marnus doesn't like being out the game does he. Too early to start with ' oh glammy glammy' !!

They're falling quicker than I can refresh my failing YouTube stream !!

Wow brilliant bowling from Crane especially

8 down. Well done Marnus.

Hoping we come through. But poor captaincy to give Ingram those 2 overs, especially the 2nd. Shouldn't of been thinking about how to fill 20 overs, foot was on the throat, needed to keep it there with crane. Even Stevens again

Ingram is a superb batter but is there a worse catcher in professional cricket?

Typical , from a position of no hope to a position of red hot favourites to then let them off the hook. No idea why Crane and Marnus were taken off then for Ingram

Got to win from there. Poor captaincy and crucial dropped catches.

Categorically **** Essex. I’ve watched Glamorgan all over, nearly all fans of county cricket get on (unsurprisingly). Outside of the football I can’t say I’ve personally experienced such an unpleasant evening for being Welsh as I did tonight.

Not surprised to hear and no surprise when Farage is so popular in Clacton. Narrow minded, racist and not much between the ears.

Sad to hear! Shame we didn't really shut them up with a win!

Never been to Chelmsford to watch cricket, but was surprised by the attitude and antics of some Essex fans in a game at Cardiff years ago.

Long time since I watched a complete Glamorgan game.....really threw that away by taking the two spinners off when Essex were there for the taking.

South Africa 12-4 chasing 104 to beat the Netherlands.

Afghanistan beat New Zealand overnight - a low scoring, but very watchable, tournament so far.

Aussies 55-0 after 4 overs
