A terrific display from Lawrence, including an 81 and a couple of wickets, guarantees him the man of the match. That's that from our side here at Cricbuzz, as we sign off for the day. Cheerio!
17:04 Local Time, 16:04 GMT, 21:34 IST: It was always going to be a tough target, but Wright started off brilliantly with three boundaries off the first over. His dismissal, however, started a sluggish stand before Rawlins the birthday boy entered the stage to fire up the run rate. David Wiese was looking to take it away from Essex, but a flurry of wickets in the penultimate over ensured that the match didn't slip from Essex's grip - getting them a win they desperately needed.
19.6 Matthew Quinn to Brown, 2 runs, slogged away to deep midwicket for a couple, and Essex get their first win of the Blast today!
