Some spin magic from Simon Harmer helped Essex back in the match at Trent Bridge and set up and enthralling finish to proceedings in the Championship clash against Nottinghamshire.
Six wickets from the South African tore through the hosts batting line-up, which included breaking up growing partnership of Steven Mullaney and Tom Moores; both of whom were his victims.
It was the wicket of Mullaney which also brought up his 50th Championship wicket this season, now sitting behind Lancashire’s Graham Onions and Tom Bailey in the wicket taking ranks with 51 so far.
Harmy spoke after play to reflect on his milestones as the team look to bring an important win back to Chelmsford on the final day.
