Match Report:

Essex Hawks’ D40 Quest campaign ended in disappointment as heavy rain oversaw the abandonment of their clash with Dorset/Hampshire at Harlow Town Cricket Club.

Only a ball over fifteen overs’ were possible before players and spectators were sent scurrying for cover.

During the play that was possible, Ben Williams impressed with the bat, hitting 75 off 39 balls for the visitors. His innings included eight 4s and four 6s.

Essex deployed five bowlers. Joe Moss and Jehan Sabih took two wickets apiece for the home side. Moss returned figures of 5-1-21-2, while Sabih had 5-0-48-2.
