    Followed by a great caught and bowled from McKerr for his second wicket to get Critchley

    330-4

    Essex going for their shots given the limited time available but are 41-3 this morning, having been 289-1 overnight

    Massive pressure on Zak to do well, both for Kent but also for himself, when you see the runs Essex made the scores other England players and rivals have made

    Crawley goes to his 50 by hitting Harmer for a maximum. 50 from 12 balls out of 59* off 65 balls

    Northants hammered by Hants today. 63 all out in the second innings for a massive defeat

    I am confident we are better than northants and Middlesex

    Crawley reaches his ton off 96 balls. His first century for Kent since 2020

    141-0

    Compton bowled for 46 by Harmer. Very unlucky - ball spins back from a forward defence

    162-1

    Crawley 114* (105)

    I'm assuming it's an absolute road at Canterbury then

    Indeed it is and that has allowed Crawley to dominate in the same way as Westley did in the first. It bodes well that Agar managed to take a couple of wickets and go at under 3 an over at the same time from 23 overs. Unfortunately Gilchrist is somewhat "ring rusty" as evidenced by his 0-139 off 25 overs.

    212-2 DBD out for 23, Crawley on 141

    DBD plays no shot to a ball from Harmer that looked to have hit his back pad and he is given out LBW for 23 by former Kent player Nigel LLong. Nigel's brother, Adrian, is Kent Head Groundsman.

    Which he passes. Well done Zak

    Harmer is now finding a fair but of turn. That said, only Billings actually got a good ball - DBD, Leaning and Cox all made poor decisions or executed shots badly to get out.

    We need to knuckle down, and get some batting points.

    Need 15 or 16 to avoid the follow on and pick up another batting point

    It would be nice to get to 350 tonight and claim another batting point, as I can't imagine there will be much play tomorrow.

    Sadly I suspect that you are correct. Just 8 runs short of another bonus point.
