    Warwickshire finish the day on 490-1. That is starting to make me wonder whether this could end up one of the worst, numerically, ever decisions to put the opposition in. 
    It's not getting any better for Durham but it is for Stoneman's opposite number, Alex Davies, who probably couldn't believe his luck when Warwickshire asked them to bat. Given he's been the biggest recipient of Stoneman's generosity, Davies will probably be buying Stoneman a big drink post match.

    562-1

    Yates         191  (205)
    Davies       256* (310)
    Rhodes      100* (153)
  • Gilchrist has been awful this morning. Trying too many short balls and has gone for 39 in his 3 overs this morning

    500-7

    562-2, Davies out. The start of the collapse  ;)

    Ed Bernard, with a severe dose of pad rash, has just got out for a single! I see Parkinson got both wickets. The revenge of the twin! 
  • The Parkinson twins appear to have an aversion to bowling maidens:

    Matt       27-1-125-2
    Callum   34-0-172-2
  • 530-7 declared
  • Muyeye out LBW for 11 shouldering arms to one. He isn't yet an opener at this stage of his career and would surely do more damage coming in lower down the order.

    27-1
  • A very uncomfortable batting period ends with us on 29-1 at lunch
  • Muyeye out LBW for 11 shouldering arms to one. He isn't yet an opener at this stage of his career and would surely do more damage coming in lower down the order.

    27-1
    Denly and DBD have both opened in the past, one of them would surely be more suitable?

    As it is, when Zak plays, Muyeye will now be the obvious person to be dropped

    From what Kent have said Zak should be back for the next game.

    At Muyeye's expense, whereas if he had played lower down the order and scored runs against the soft Kookaburra, he would have been safe 
  • 50 for DBD. 

    All a bit sedentary here. 
  • 100 partnership up 
  • Can I just say kookaburra balls are shite on non hard baked pitches.

    Think you're not the only one saying that! 
  • Only two wickets in the day’s play. Is it really all due to the Kookaburra ball or have Essex just prepared a road?
  • No extras so far in the Kent inning's

    Perhaps that's why the likes of Duckett, Root, Brook etc chose to include one or other, or even both these matches. The Kokkaburra ball won't be used again until two matches in August/September so those that have missed out on runs in this period might regret it. As it happens, it should help us because one would like to think that we aren't going to lose this game and haven't, therefore, wasted the opportunity of having Crawley playing for us. 
  • 245-1 off 80 overs at close and 285 behind

    Compton      100* (237)
    DBD              134* (215)
    We should get at least 1 batting point!

    Zak in such conditions will either get out cheaply playing an expansive shot, or score a triple ton once he gets in!

  • Arrived home from Macca Bonne's Cambridge(  :D ), eager to see our scorecard & the related comments on here. 

    Not a great 90+ minutes' entertainment from our boys in black & seemingly a bit of a plod at Chelmsford...

    But fears of relegation are now behind us and a positive start to our innings from the lads in white. 

    Can't really complain.
  • it was a really underwhelming 245-1 if that can even be a thing when it’s your team getting the runs. 

    Most of the afternoon was around 2.5 runs an over and can probably count on one hand how many LBW appeals there were as well. 

    However, it is about the points at the end of the day, so hopefully can push on tomorrow. 
  • Being Kent, I still expect a batting collapse in day 4, leading to defeat.
  • So far, as at 13th April there have been: 

    21 centuries 
    3 doubles
    1 triple 

    I think we can safely say using the Kookaburra ball at this time of year has not really worked
