English County Championship 2021: Warwickshire vs Essex preview 

Round 3 of the English County Championship 2021 will see the Warwickshire County Cricket Club go up against Essex County Club on Thursday. Currently the table-toppers in Group 1, this match will be an important one for both teams as they look to take the lead at the halfway stage of the tournament. Having drawn their first match against Derbyshire after putting up just 7 of the required 213 runs, Warwickshire came back strong with a 2-wicket win over Nottingham.

Now in first place on the Group 1 leaderboards, the team will hope to continue their streak with a win in this game. This will prove to be a tougher task though, as Warwickshire clash with Essex, who have had a similar run at the County Championships so far. With a Round 1 draw against Worcestershire in the bag, Essex went on to defeat Durham by a whopping 44 runs to go to second place in the group standings. Defending champions for the Bob Willis trophy this year, Essex will hope to go all the way once again in 2021.
