6.12pm: Plenty of whooping and cheering on the Warwickshire balcony, it's back-to-back wins for them, and another fine chase after they reeled in 333 at Trent Bridge last week. Rob Yates gets the applause of his team-mates, as well as the Essex players, as he heads off unbeaten on 120, a superb knock from the 21-year-old opener. George Dobell's report will be in soon(ish), so stick around for that. It's been another round of top Champo action, and we'll be back for more from Thursday. Thanks, folks. Cheerio!

SJ Cook to Yates, 1 run, full outside off, Yates flashes an edge that squirms out of Cook's grasp at slip, and that'll be it! Warwickshire win by seven wickets, they've knocked off the champions and will go top of Group One

SJ Cook to Yates, FOUR, short of a length, goes for some pongo on the pull and that flies for four! Scores are level

Walter won't bowl this penultimate over, he wanders off and Sam Cook removes his jumper. Warks almost home and hosed, but there's a bit of a delay... because Essex have taken the new ball!
