    None of the Somerset fans seem to mind that they've lost. Gayle's innings must've been incredible to watch.

    @Addickted2TheReds did fantastic work for the first 3/4 of the match!!

    I listened to it unfolding on the radio: BBC Somerset had it online.

    Gayle hit 15 sixes! The record is 17 - also by Gayle.

    Sensational stuff. Claydon has proven to be a vital death bowler so far this year.

    Important over from Riley mid-way through the match too.

    Credit to Gayle, it sounded like he just was not going to give up.

    Another captain's innings from Sam Northeast too, what a season he is having.

    This was the joint 4th top match aggregate of runs for all T20 matches ever played.

    Gayle's innings was the 6th highest individual innings. He, of course, already holds the record of 175* - for Royal Challengers.

    Highest by a losing player by any chance?

    Indeed it is. The five highest scores were all for teams that won. Gayle was only three runs short of breaking Luke Wright's record score of 153* and Graham Napier's 152* for T20s in this country. Both scored on the postage stamp pitch that is Chelmsford.

    I mentioned after Friday's game that I didn't think Sam Northeast had an innings in him when he made his 96 against Surrey but he surpassed that today. The two innings combined mean that he has scored 210 off 105 balls and given that he is responsible for winning us both matches it is somewhat of a pity that his form has been somewhat overshadowed by the man from Jamaica.

    Haha, cheers. I went to go and have a net!

    Great stuff from Kent. What a brilliant game, 450 runs in three hours!

    Should add that a really good website for Kent games (and all county and international games) is espncricinfo, it gives ball by ball updates and good stats etc, worth looking at if you're following a game.

    Unless you are at Beckenham where they use Cricinfo as the scoreboard in between showing shots of the crowd so the score is always a ball or two behind!

    More fantastic stuff from the Kent Young Guns !

    Was out all afternoon & switched on 5 Live around 5.30 to hear the news of Gayle's remarkable innings...

    Thought "sh*t" !

    Then the commentator said " But it wasn't enough to beat Kent who went on to win by 3 runs !"

    That's quite an achievement - the fact that we've won four out of five matches and have virtually the worst Net Run Rate in the League!

    As I haven't been to Beckenham yet this year, is the new stand worth it?

    Didn't sit in the stand but it does look good.

    Great highlights. After that knock Kent really should give Sam Northeast his own jumper now ;-)

    The new stand is pretty good. Loads of legroom and a good steep angle to see over everyone in front.

    Could have done with a roof on it on Friday and it was proper freezing when the sun went down and you're sat in the shadow!

    The new stand is nice - but could be closer to the pitch.

    Here's our irreverent take on the cricket at Beckenham:
