    Interesting fInish in store - Kent need 92 more runs and Surrey five wickets. The key wicket will be Van Jaarsveld's - currently on 70. To date in the Championship he's batted 12 times - has two hundreds, five half-centuries, but four ducks.

    70 needed to win still 5 wickets in hand.

    Van Jaarsveld and Geraint Jones batting. The ball is turning apparently so Kent will do well to win.

    Whatever happens VJ has scored two tons and taken 5 wickets in an innings in this game.

    I don't know if that is unique but there can't be many that have done that.

    Plenty have scored ONE ton and taken 5 in an innings but two tons and 5 wickets in an innings?

    And they've done it - home by four wickets. Two unbeaten hundreds in a match to go with five wickets in Surrey's second innings by Van Jaarsveld.

    Get in there! Kent won by 4 wickets

    Absolutely massive performance from Van Jaarsveld, 114NO in the first innings, 115NO in the second and bowling figures of 5 for 33 from 13 (3 maidens).

    I've got a feeling he's in my dream team, so a good few days for me!

    we needed this one as we were 2nd from bottom although only 4 points seperated about 4 teams.

    By my reckoning that's 5 jugs he owes, 1 for each 50 and 1 for the 5for

    Plus an extra one for his best first class bowling figures.

    Brillant result - the VJ show - what a performance!!!! I'd love to have been there.

    Kent up to fourth in the table - at least provisionally, and the defeat sends Surrey to the bottom. A real six pointer or whatever the equivalent cricketing expression is.

    Pretty tight at the top with a handfull of points separating the top few teams.
