We expect to be there. Probably get our tickets for tomorrow. Be too late to get train home afterwards so may book into a hotel so we can have a drink! ( Did I hear a rumour that Root and Bairstow's silly dismissals today were due to the fear that they would be facing Colesy in a couple of weeks!)
Kent all out for 451 with a first innings lead of 240.
Great effort, boys.
No huge scores but contributions from Dickson (79), Stevens (81) and Gidman (75*) as well as Coles (41) and Claydon (46) at 10 & 11 mean a very healthy first innings score.
Any chance of Gidman staying at Kent a bit longer?
He would be a great signing for us - with both bat and ball. Unfortunately I think he's recovering from injury and it is to give him match practice that Notts have allowed him to go for the month. Hope I am wrong though.
