For the second consecutive Friday in the midlands, the day's play has been a complete wash-out and unless the captains can again conjure up a thrilling finish as last week, then the match is heading for a draw.
A shame, because Essex had got themselves right back into the match after being bowled out 188 in their 1st innings, by reducing Leicestershire to only 185-7 on day 2, which since then, it's been raining.
The forecast is better for tomorrow and a full day's play or thereabouts should be possible, but Essex will be wanting to take the last 3 wickets and then earn 7 points for the draw, assuming no contrived finish.
