    Cox reaches his 100 with a 6 over square leg off Gilchrist off just 85 balls to follow his 67 in the first innings

    Yeah doubt there will be hardly any play tomorrow

    At 312-7 we did very well to get over 400, and 4 bonus points. Will Essex be brave, as it will need a very risky declaration to win tomorrow?
    I think that they will declare and back their bowling but I'm not convinced that any declaration will be that risky. They could well be 350 plus ahead by lunch tomorrow which we won't get anywhere near off 60 overs for two reasons - Compton's strength is occupation and not chasing and if we find ourselves three or four down inside the first 30 over, with our batting to come, we are more than likely to shut up shop. 
    Forget a lead of 350 at lunchtime tomorrow - Essex finish on 257-4 off just 40 overs at close of play for a lead of 374

    If the Kookaburra has done one thing, it's to get the spinners loads of early-season bowling
    Those that have been selected but not the four England spinners to tour India who have all missed at least one of the two opening matches. Or, or that matter, the Kent spinners who have match figure between them of 65-2-334-4

    Think I'd better get some sleep ...

    Sounds like my "happy feet " will be required from 11am tomorrow. 
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    I'm waiting for the commentator tomorrow to say ...

    "Essex declare on their overnight score, and with the rain delay costing 60 overs of play, the game will almost certainly peter out into a tame draw"

    Before Kent subside to 22-3...

    Ground delay - inspection at 11.30
  • McBobbinMcBobbin
    looking bright and suny out my office wondow, and I'm about 5 minutes away. Hoping the rain stays away now.

    Have a horrible feeling about this today. 
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    How how many wickets will be down when we reach 375  ;)

    Gutted!

    1:40 start planned...

    Well if we can't survive for two sessions then we don't deserve to draw the match. 
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Muyeye gone for a duck. Played no sort of shot to one that nips away to a delivery from Porter. The "leave" is an opener's best friend and I'm afraid that, as much as he can be an outstanding and destructive batsman, he isn't one for the very top of the order.

    4-1
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    The fact that we haven't scored a run off the bat in the first five overs suggests that we aren't going for the win!

    5-1
  • Fanny FanackapanFanny Fanackapan
    Unless I've missed something, Muyeye has had a less than positive start to the season. 

    We need a couple of heroes now to see us through today. 

    Or, let the dancing begin....
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    With the passing of Derek Underwood, it's a sad day for Kent, so it would be nice for the players to do something good this afternoon in his honour.
  • 000__Jaaaaay__000000__Jaaaaay__000
    Here we go then, Compton now gone. Deary me, even by Kent standards this is pathetic 
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    Compton LBW Porter 6 (22). He didn't look like he liked the decision either, presumably believing he hit it. 

    19-2

    Leaning owes us a score here. Never been convinced on him 
  • ken_shabbyken_shabby
    Who was it said we'd be 23-2 in a severely curtailed match.
    We genuinely seem to fold on demand for these games.
  • LenGloverLenGlover
    Come on we need 2 batsmen to dig in and bat out the remaining overs for the draw. 

    Thought Compton might be the man but evidently not.
  • killerandflashkillerandflash
    The frustrating thing is that is we hadn't let Essex score so quickly yesterday, they might not have been able to declare overnight with an unreachable target, which has left us having to defend for 2 sessions against Harmer surrounded by close fielders.

    Indeed Deadly would have loved this situation to bowl in.

    DBD out as I type this. Massive trouble now.
  • Addick AddictAddick Addict
    DBD out LBW trying to slog sweep Harmer for 18 (53)

    37-3 off 18 overs

    We're going to struggle to get the draw here.

    Finch LBW Critchley 14 (38). It's down to the Denlys to save us
