16:19A third batting point for Essex, who from 220 for two had stumbled slightly but thanks to James Foster (26*) now sit 303 for six and with a lead of 102. Keith Barker struck immediately after the tea interval with the second new ball to see Ravi Bopara on his way lbw for 20 - Hawkeye suggested it was going over - but Foster has found a bit of support from Simon Harmer (15) in a stand of 32. Chris Woakes has bowled some beauties in this spell for no reward. Warwickshire, having roared back into it, are no doubt reeling from the news that the Birmingham bin strike could spill into next year.
