Fantastic innings by Denly. Only he and Cox got in so pitch might still be a tricky one. Disappointing to not reach 200 but much improved on recent efforts.
Kent sign yet another bowler, Kiwi Jacob Duffy on a short-term contract for 2 Championship matches. In their test squad but hasn't played yet (and will be behind the likes of Wagner and Henry)

Bird leaving, injuries to Gilchrist, Stevens and Podmore and form of Milnes means this makes sense pending Henry's arrival in the second half of the season.
Really don't know if I can face following the text's again even after our long awaited win. For those who wanted the football season to end to enjoy the cricket, this is really just a follow on of the 21-22 Charlton season. And I thought we had a squad that would push on from last season, in an upwards direction....
Denly has been ruled out of tonight's game through illness and is replaced by Muyeye. The only change.
Essex won the toss and have put us in.
It's typical of this season that Denly is kept in the side, game after game despite desperately struggling, but when it finally clicks and he's back to his best, he's then ill the next game.

79-1 off 9
Much more like it
166-4 off 16.4
A decent score but, at 158-2 off 15 overs, we might have got anything up to the 220 mark
Fair play to our Joe who looked back to his best. Plus a great supporting role from Jordan.
Thought our bowlers on the whole AND our fielding was much improved too.
LOVING Qais ! Great spell & fielding well too - all with such enthusiasm & a smile on his face !
Let's hope this continues at Chelmsford on Tuesday.

Don't let me down you buggers!
Hope the lads make your journey worthwhile .

Finally in our seats after a fairly liquid afternoon.
Difficult chance, dropping just in front.
Next ball edged/glanced for four.
4-1 after 1 over.
Any kind of edge goes for a boundary.
