    Overton out in the final over for 15 (9). Kent fans are seen to grimace as the bowler, Stewart, grabs the back of his hamstring. 
  • 200 up, with 1 ball of the innings to spare.

    Great knock from Jacks to save the innings. 50 up off only 21 balls.

    202-7 (20)

    Jacks with an excellent 53* (22) helps England to a respectable score in the end and one that should be enough given our bowling attack. Should.  
  • Jacks ends on 53 not out off 22 balls.

    England finish on 202/7. Italy surely won't even get close to that.

    2 games in a row that Jacks has got us up to a defendable score. 
    Hes adjusting to the role of finisher perfectly.

    I "liked" that but it genuinely killed me to have to be seen to praise a Surrey player. Will have to balance things out once Jacks, Overton or Curran gets smashed for 18 in an over by one of the Mosca or Manenti brothers.

    The love for Surrey from some of you Kent supporters warms the cockles of my heart ❤️

    What an absolute screamer from Buttler to dismiss Harry Mamenti. 22-3

    We need another wicket sharpish here
  • Not much positivity or belief in this team not like when Bazzer first came in.

    Absolutely horrific bowling from Jacks

    Well that we have it. Jacks goes for 13 in his first over but "betters" that in his second by going for no less than 21. Luckily, he saves a bit of face by taking a wicket off his final ball to give him 1-34 off two overs.

    Ben Mamenti holes out to Banton off Jacks for 60, 114-4 off 12

    114-4 (12)

    89 needed off 48 balls
  • Please let that be the last we see of Jacks bowling, fuck me that over was diabolical but at least Manenti has gone so that should hopefully kill their momentum.
  • Scotland beat this lot by about 70 runs

    Tbf i have no idea why Brook is bowling him, he has enough options not to in these conditions. 
  • No associate batter has ever scored a T20I fifty against England 

    Manenti after a couple more sixes has just been caught but a good knock of 60 from 25 to keep Italy interested in this..

    Ah but England only beat Nepal by 4 runs and Italy beat them by 10 wickets.  
  • Finding myself not caring that much - even if we scrape home we've had tight games v Nepal, Scotland and Italy and lost to the only half decent team.

    We're not beating anyone decent or going past the Super 8 so only a bit of avoiding embarrassment that matters.

    Needing over 2 a ball now. If we lose form here it really is something.
  • Another convincing victory heading our way..

    Yet another Surrey failure. Women's coach Campopiano goes for 2 off a wasteful 6 balls.

    You never know though. The thing with this format is that you sometimes just need 1 player to go crazy with the bat and it can be enough to win.

    I've played in a 6 a side competition with Ben Manenti. We got booed when collecting the trophy as he was a bit too good  :D
