Silverwood reacts to Essex T20 defeat

The Essex Director of Cricket says change is needed quickly after a third T20 defeat, this time by six wickets at Glamorgan.

Glamorgan all-rounder Ben Kellaway's versatility brought about the downfall of dangerous Michael Pepper for 60 as Essex totalled 183-8 from their 20 overs.

Having been hit for two big leg-side sixes bowling right-arm as the Essex batter passed 50 off 27 balls, he switched to left-arm and had him caught at cover.

Carlson led the run-chase in an opening stand of 91 with Will Smale, but missed out on a hundred when he was caught behind by Pepper off Paul Walter with just nine runs needed and Glamorgan reached 185-4 with an over to spare.
