🫡 500 FIRST-CLASS WICKETS! | Surrey v Essex Day 3 Highlights

Jamie Porter hit the milestone of 500 first-class wickets on Day Three against Surrey at the Kia Oval, but Essex were left facing a fight to rescue the sides’ Vitality County Championship clash.

Porter hit the landmark shortly after tea, a full 3,584 days since he took his maiden first-class scalp in September 2014, as Jordan Clark swatted a short ball to Eathan Bosch at third.

The celebration, however, was somewhat forcibly muted by circumstance, as Surrey, having resumed their second innings on 44-3, ultimately went on to post 278 all out as Ryan Patel hit 107.

That meant Essex were set 361 to win, and enormous though the task may be, Dean Elgar at least fought back somewhat by remaining unbeaten to stumps, seeing the visitors to 21-2.
