THE FORECAST
Nottinghamshire came into play since June 2018 after their first all-in-one win in nearly three years. They defeated Derbyshire after impressive bowling performances in both innings of Luke Fletcher and the returning Stuart Broad with 310 runs. The string shape of Haseeb Hameed will be pleasant news for all English cricket fans, especially those at Notts. The Boltonian opener averaged 93 in their last five innings of two centuries and two half centuries. Despite poor form over the years, they have only lost one game this year after failing to defend a 333 mammoth hunt against Warwickshire.
You will face an Essex side who finished fifth in Group A of the County Championship. Only one win and one draw in the first four games for the team that will win their third first-class trophy in four years. A concern for the now multi-year title challenger was the poor performance of their top order. However, last week they managed to achieve a dominant score in Worcestershire, as they declared in their first innings to 561-8. Centuries for Alastair Cook and Captain Tom Westley were not enough to force a victory in time, but it will give the supreme order the much-needed confidence.
Despite Notts’ first win in over three years last week, they will continue to perform as underdogs. Essex has started slowly, but with their batsman now gaining the much needed confidence it will now be up to the bowling to force some wins. A bowling attack that includes Simon Harmer, Jamie Porter, and Peter Siddle.
