    Just when you think there's a modicum of sentiment in the game with Joe Denly coming in for his final game at the home of cricket, you see that his nephew has been dropped to accommodate him!

    Evison has also been replaced with Milnes coming into the side.

    Kent won the toss and unsurprisingly, given all three of our games have gone to the chasers, has elected to bowl.

    Haven't they realised every wicket is meant to either be caught or bowled by Denly and he then has to open and score every single run in the chase

    I wonder if Joe played against his father? He's certainly old enough.

    Always good when the Kent stream has an attack of the buffering!

    Somerset, according to my stream, are destined to never get off 27-1 (7)

    Lovely day for it, and the crowd is about double that for last week’s game v Northants.

    Lammonby holes out to Ekansh at deep square off Grant Stewart for 42. Much needed.

    This team looks far better balanced .  Cant see why it can’t play for the rest of the tournament. .

    Somerset 150/2 off 29.4. They do say to take the score at 30 overs and double it for a 50 over total. Unless we get a flurry of wickets I reckon it’s going to be a very big number to chase.

    And, in his final match, Joe Denly pulls off a superb caught & bowled to remove Savin Perera who was looking very dangerous. 171/3 off 33.

    Wicket for Joe! Good of Perera to give him a final victim

    Pretorius, having been dinged on the helmet by Milnes earlier in the over, is caught by Keith Dudgeon for 6.
    Then, our hero, Joe D, has Ben Church caught by Harry Finch for a duck. 297/8 off 48.2.

    Somerset 313/9 off their 50 overs.
    Time for our batters to show us what they can do.

    Joe Denly gets a guard of honour from both teams as he leaves the field.

    Northeast stumped for 18 off 28 balls. 135/2 off 25.
    He really scratched around for his runs and does not look in good touch.
