Warwickshire will look to bounce back on the third day as Simon Harmer’s mesmeric off-spin gave the hosts the advantage at Chelmsford.
Harmer notched up his 32nd five-wicket haul in seven summers at Essex as Warwickshire were forced to follow-on 299 runs in arrears on first innings. Having already taken five for 65, Harmer added another wicket in the 24 overs of Warwickshire’s second innings in the early evening sunshine, taking his season’s tally to 32.
