No play was possible on day 3 of the Essex vs Gloucestershire Frizzell County Championship Division 2 match at Chelmsford today, meaning a draw now looks the only result possible with a day to go.

But the heaven's opened again and this time worse than before and although it stopped and cleared up, the damage had been done and after another inspection at 4:00pm, play was abandoned for the day. This means that no result is likely on day 4 tomorrow, the last of the match and so a draw is the only possible outcome. The forecast for tomorrow isn't great either, with light rain predicted, so another washout is on the cards. Essex are currently 74 behind with 6 wickets left at 305-4 in their 1st inns in reply to Gloucs 1st inns total of 379. Date: 26/4/02 |
