Dickson has now scored the second highest individual score for Kent on 308* having overtaken WH Ashdown's 305*. Just WH Ashdown's 332 ahead of him now.
Pleading with you Len - although it would be warranted, please don't flag MOL for this. Especially as MOL, with his family connections, is a closet Essex supporter anyway.
I have a concern and that is I can't see where our back up seamers are. We rely on a 41 year old plus Coles and Claydon who, with figures of 2-358 in his last three and a bit games, would surely have been "rested" by now if we had the resources in the 2nds. Hunn has come in for Stevens but is he the solution?
In addition to Hunn (and Gidman - not a front line seamer) we have the likes of Haggett, Thomas, Ball, Bernard, Hartley (T20 etc etc but are any of them really pushing for a first team place on a regular basis?

A bit frustrating that we have a solution in Milne, but can't play him and Milne
Breakthrough, Shah gets Newton caught behind for 57.
113/1.
Sorry, not caught behind, just caught by Rouse. Billings has the gloves.
Must be strange for Rouse to be an outfielder, I'd imagine Billings is far more used to it seeing that he always seems to be a batsman only for England. I wonder which is the better keeper?

EDIT: Now 317* Kent 642-3
645-4
I wonder when we'll declare?
Coles in so declaration soon I suspect
Billings 42*
I reckon he'll declare at 700
The highest is 803-4 against Essex at Brentwood in 1934.
Shah now bowling.
Is it a traditionally flat wicket there?
What was the score at games last year ?
