    I didn't realise we'd recruited Yasir for his batting!

    Errrm well........ he's certainly batted far better than he bowled!

    I was there today.

    Our bowlers, other than Stevens, looked innocuous and Durham, with Collingwood at the helm, advanced without too many problems and we only picked up 2 of the 3 available bowling bonus points within the 110 overs. Harsh to say it, given that I know he has been in Australia on compassionate leave, but Claydon looked particularly ineffective.

    Once we got them out sod's law prevailed and there was cloud cover to accompany the new ball. The Durham bowlers, Mc Carthy especially, looked far more threatening than Kent's and made full use of the more favourable conditions. In the circumstances Northeast played very well with little support until Shah came in. They managed to steer us to a batting bonus point and we closed needing 87 to avoid the follow on with 2 wickets remaining.

    I'll take the draw now because I don't think we'll get it.

    All out for 236. Trail by 212, Durham haven't enford the follow on, so Coles is going to bowl 'em out for under 100.

    Durham 41-1 now. Lead 253 and counting.

    We will do well to get anything out of this from here.

    Durham declared at 271-6 setting Kent 484 to win.

    At the close Kent were 35 without loss.

    DBD went early doors for 37/1 - Dickson & Denly going along reasonably nicely. 95/1 after the first hour - just a cool 389 needed of the final 80...

    is it 96 overs to be bowled today? 58 gone so far so another 38 overs to survive. Just as I type Gidman out so 193-6. think Rouse has got bat quite a while with Northeast to save this. The only consolation is that Worc have already lost

    Potentially 106 overs I think but they may agree to shake hands earlier.

    EDIT: Forget all that! Yes it is 96 overs! I temporarily forgot the 10 we faced last night in coming up with 106!

    Kent 224-6 off 76.3 as I type so 29.3 to go worst scenario

    Durham just taken the new ball and Rouse has gone for 23.

    237-7 off 80.4

    At least Glamorgan beat Worcs but this has been terrible against bottom side.

    Good news is that Shah's on strike... 3 balls defended so far.
