Kaneria spins out Warwickshire

It was a case of better late then never at Edgbaston as Essex and Warwickshire could finally get onto the field on the third day. Danish Kaneria was no worse off for the wait as he bagged 6 for 48 to dismiss Warwickshire for 154. They'd been 80 for 1 before losing Ian Westwood first ball after lunch.

Warwickshire secured promotion, and now need just four points to grab the Division Two title off Worcestershire, after a dramatic final-day, six-wicket victory charge against Essex at Chelmsford. The match appeared to be heading for a draw as John Maunders (107) and Ravi Bopara (133) added 241 for the second wicket. But Ian Salisbury sparked a rapid collapse as Essex lost nine for 69, leaving Warwickshire to knock off 144 in 45 overs. They cruised home with plenty of time to spare, Darren Maddy hitting 63 off 99 balls. However, their real final-day matchwinner was Salisbury, who turned the game on its head, with a spell of 6 for 27 in 11.4 overs. Maunders hit his first Championship hundred and Bopara continued the form he has shown most of the summer with his fourth century.
