Essex have extended Neil Dexter's loan from Kent for another month.

The 23-year-old batsman joined Essex for the Twenty20 Cup campaign and has also played for them in the County Championship.

Essex coach Paul Grayson said: "We want to have another look at Neil because we believe he is a talented player."

Dexter is ineligible for Saturday's Friends Provident Trophy semi-final but should play against Northants in the Twenty20 Cup quarter-final on Monday.
