    Cook sending message with 39 off 30 balls to McCullum!
    Blimey, either Cook is a convert to Bazball or he wants the game over quickly, as there are problems at the farm!

    Meanwhile Harry Finch is sending a similar message to the Kent coaches to Muyeye - he has just failed to reach his ton in being caught behind for 96 to go with the 167 that he achieved in the first innings

    80-1 off 16 overs. Far too many 4 balls (17 of them to date) albeit on a good track.

    100-1 off 25 overs. Bowling a tighter length and line now.

    Thanks for all your help re the questions I have asked, been trying to work it out how long it’s been since my last visit as best as I can make it’s around 52 years. Anyway finally made it along with the wife. Weather isn’t great snd it’s certainly cool.

    Kent are fielding 

    Members used to be able to purchase a cooked lunch in the Cornwallis Suite pre covid. Not sure whether or not that still applies.

    121-1 off 30 overs. Browne is playing a different game (34 off 92) to the others (87 off 88)

    Ended up with a nice chicken Baltic pie in the bar of the Les Ames stand, you can’t say I don’t know how to treat the wife.

    159-1 bad light has saved us and the players in particular given that it is windy and we've hit a new low of 7 degrees.

    Don't worry too much about the weather it will be much warmer in August when the county championship gets into full swing.
    Oh hang on

    Back on - and off again at 164-1. The fielders were practically begging the Umpires to take them off!

    Is the bowling going to be a problem this season, and the batting too?

    Appropriate with the cold weather  :)
    You can’t beat a good spell checker cock up can you :-)

    I see (the ex-Kent) Ollie Robinson is getting runs again. Why the hell did Kent let him go? He has always seemed like a decent county cricketer to me.

    If you ever think Kent are pathetic, try being a Worcestershire fan. We had Gloucestershire 45-7 batting first today. A few hours later we are cruising into a lost position. It's absolutely effortless. Oh yeah, and we've allowed one of their lot to score a ton from number 9 and take a hat-trick on the same day. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO

    The issue had been "boiling up" for a couple of years. Three keeper/batsman with the captain being one of them and all of them sharing the same ambition to play for England. He was dropped when Billings came back from the IPL and if one looks at the fact that we've had to leave out Denly for this game, it is difficult to see who they omit for Robinson. Even though they probably should. That said, his departure has been very amicable from both sides and it wouldn't surprise too many people if he were back with is in three or four years time providing it suits all parties for that to happen at that time.

    At least you're not flooded! With all the rain in March, New Road would surely have been at risk

    Hopefully manage to get a full game out of this, but not looking likely. Having said that, Essex are very light in the batting department once Browne or Westley go.

    Subject to no more rain, play due to begin at 3.15

    They are, indeed, back on but, unfortunately, Gilchrist is bowling like someone who is coming back from injury without enough overs under his belt before doing so. Struggling for line and length, his three overs to date have gone for 29 to give him overall figures of 17-1-95-0. By contrast, Agar has looked threatening if only to the welfare of the Essex batsmen - his four overs have gone for just a single and he's hit Browne on the head too with a bouncer (17-8-40-1). 

    194-1 and an undefeated stand of 151

    Once again , same story as last season

    Browne reaches his ton too

    280-1 and the partnership is now 237

    Well we can't win this game now. The wicket offers nothing to the bowlers at the moment so there should be no excuses for us when we go in to bat. "Should".

    They are off for bad light now and that is probably it for the day. Some respite at least.

    289-1

    Browne 105*
    Westley 138*

    WA Agar 19-9-43-1
    NN Gilchrist 21-2-115-0
    C McKerr 13-1-51-0
    JDM Evison 13-1-54-0
    Hamidullah Qadri 8-1-25-0

    Based on what I saw yesterday, I thought Agar bowled very well, was disappointed by Gilchrist but would say his figures flattered him, look like both carried on in the same vein today unfortunately for Gilchrist.
