How many points Kent require and how many do we have currently?
We need a draw. Bonus points will only become relevant if we lost and Yorkshire lose.
Unless it because of rain, I can't see it being a draw.
Which is why I suggested that we need to bat for four sessions in our first innings. That would give us, with this start, a minimum of a 200 lead with only five sessions of the game left. Somerset would then be in survival mode and need to bat for almost four sessions themselves to set something.

Yes - scoring at nearly 5 runs an over currently suggest looking to get in the lead as quick as possible.
And it worked out perfectly for us that Somerset are safe, as they're definitely not at 100%. 149 in 30 overs is crazy scoring, and it's not as if Kent are playing recklessly

The bowling has been powder puff and they don't appear to have worked out that the batsmen have different addictions - Muyeye to pull and Crawley to drive and have been bowling too short to the former and too full to the latter. Long may it continue.
Assuming we get a hundred more we will finish above Yorkshire with a win too. A sixth place finish (and an outside chance of fifth) coupled with the cup win makes it a very good season moving forward. Only blight is the loss of Robinson but would settle for the other one though.
More than once he's kicked down the stumps in a big paddy which surely must mirror a tennis player throwing his racket during a match but seemingly no admonishment from the umpire today.
Then he's had a right go at said umpire when a decision didn't go his way.
In addition he appears to have a problem with Muyeye, trying to stare him down and muttering in his direction whenever possible.
Isn't there a warning process akin to a yellow card in first class cricket ?

I think there's a certain amount of solidarity between the non Test/Hundred counties.
Actually are Kent and Charlton synchronised as both often appear to be staving of relegation, to frequently for comfort!
Crawley out for 79
26 runs behind Somerset
