Leicestershire 106-4
Lead 131 Thomas has taken 3 wickets0 -
106-5 Another for Thomas1

Great to see Thomas bowling so well - that's 8 wickets so far in this match. He's had his injury problems but, if he can stay fit and bowl like this, he is well worth his place in the side.2

The lead is up to 150 now.
Leics 125-50 -
Off for bad light at Grace Road.
126-5 lead 151.
That could well be it for the day.0 -

There’s gonna be result. Could be a good thing or a bad thing. Sussex look to be slugging our a draw (unfortunately)

So frustrating when you look at the Kent batting averages
In the Royal London, Kuhn averages 87 and Denly 70, with DBD on 40
In the CC, Denly averages 36, Kuhn 34 and Dickson 30. DBD averages 20, while Kuhn has no centuries
I don't know why our batting is so much poorer in red ball cricket. What's as shocking is that we have TEN bowlers who average less than 30 with the ball!

Sussex seem to be the opposite of Kent, I don't know if it's the pitch or the bowlers, but batsmen are piling on the runs in your match.thai malaysia addick said:There’s gonna be result. Could be a good thing or a bad thing. Sussex look to be slugging our a draw (unfortunately)

Warks beat Gloucs in less than 2 days, with Gloucs bowled our for 127 and 103. Is Trevor Bayliss moonlighting as their coach?0

My house is on the market and we had a viewing from a South African and his wife; he looked vaguely familiar.
It turned out it was Andrew Hall! I mentioned that I am a Kent supporter but although he was friendly, he offered no views, either positive or negative re Kent CCC.0 -

They actually used 12 batsmen. It seems under the new "concussion rule" the player in question is forced to play no further part in the game but "retired hurt" is not counted as a wicket hence the 12 run scorers.Addickted2TheReds said:It seems to be concussion.
Chappell is being substituted for the rest of the match - meaning an 11th player will come out to bat.0 -
Can't we claim one of out batsmen is concussed, and borrow Virat Kohli as a replacement!Addick Addict said:

138-6 an early wicket for Podmore
163 ahead0 -
What could we chase? 200 at the very most?0

We have players like Denly and Kuhn who can dig in and get big scores. What we don't seem to have is two of them who are capable of doing it at the same time.Addickted2TheReds said:What could we chase? 200 at the very most?

We ought to be able to chase 250 (it's only day 3) but I have no confidence that we willAddickted2TheReds said:What could we chase? 200 at the very most?

Of course, we ought to. The lack of bonus batting points tells me 200 is a tough enough target!killerandflash said:

153-7 and a 5th wicket for Thomas (9th in match)0

I think our second innings totals have been better than our first innings totals, which is the only reason why I'm moderately optimisticAddickted2TheReds said:

5 for Thomas, 9 in the match. Bit of a breakthrough season for him2

Klein (the batsman who came in for the concussed player) has hit 26 off 15 balls. That really doesn't seem fair given that the same rule wouldn't apply if a batsman broke his arm for example?0

189-8
Stevens has finally got Dearden out.

Knowing our luck we'll be docked points. :-(killerandflash said:None of the other day/night matches were anything like ours in the final session. Even when teams were having to start their innings late in the day.
Clearly we bowled well, but conditions must also have been really tough at Canterbury for some reason
Kent v Gloucs - Kent 64 & 153 Gloucs 110 & 108-5 Lost by 5 wickets
Durham v Kent - Durham 91 & 170 Kent 169 & 95-1 Won by 9 wickets
Glamorgan v Kent - Glam 94 & 274 Kent 174 & 195-4 Won by 6 wickets
Kent v Sussex - Kent 215 & 235 Sussex 181 & 211 Won by 58 runs
Gloucs v Kent - Kent 582-9d Gloucs 240 & 322-7(f/o) Drawn
Kent v Warks - Kent 197 & 446-8d Warks 125 & 445 Won by 73 runs
The only outlier was the away game at Gloucestershire when we rattled up almost 600 runs ... and then failed to win the game!
The game plan this years seems to be 'score low first innings, bowl out oppo even lower, win game'.
Working so far ...
Kent v Middlesex - Kent 241 & 281 Middlesex 56 & 124 Won by 342 runs
Kent v Leics - Kent 104 & 199 Leics 229 & 76/0 Lost by 10 wickets
Leics v Kent - Leics 220 & 189/8 * Kent 195 & ???
Conclusion: second innings > first innings.
Prediction Kent win!
