    At Canterbury today and to say the least it has been a frustrating day.

    This is the second break for rain and the 10 groundsman have been doing a superlative job in the circumstances.

    Covers coming off and we can but hope that there will be some more play today especially as the former England captain will first to bat.

    To be fair 161 Tests is no preparation for facing Stevo on an overcast day!

    It's only a recent development having a solid block of one competition (to help get overseas players for the Blast)

    And if England for example need a new opening batsman for the 4th Test, this is a great chance for players to make a case which otherwise they wouldn't get

    "You're too old. Retire"

    Shouts Darren Stevens as Cook comes in to bat

    Great thinking, @soapboxsam !

    Capt Cook departs !

    Capt Cook departs ! 
    LBW Stevens

    Perhaps Cook isn't too old to retire after all
  • Did the commentators on Radio Kent just say that Adam Milne won't play for us again this season ? Thought I'd read he was injured recently......

    They were discussing whether we might get in another overseas player , possibly Matt Henry. 

    Thoughts/info, anyone ? 
  • Harry P gets Lawrence !

    41 - 3 !!! And 1st bowling point ( apparently ) !

    Essex 185 behind.

    They still require another 36 runs, facing Stevo and Podders, to avoid the follow-on ...

    As Nabi has left already (a planned departure) our Blast bowling attack does look a bit thin now

    In Stevo's 15 overs there have been only eight scoring shots (three boundaries and five singles) with 82 dot balls. That's good control.

    Meanwhile, at the other end, Mitch joins the party with his third delivery.

    Essex 67-7, still 10 runs short of making Kent bat again.
