    Kent well on top, Middlesex have a very weak batting lineup, so this really is a must win game.

    Unlike the moneybags counties, Middlesex have to rely on a lot of home grown players. And unlike us, they consistently manage to produce seam bowlers; all 4 of theirs in this match are home grown, 2 in their teens, Morgan 18 getting a fivefer.

    Have to say, du Ploy’s wicket is comical. Up periscope, shouldered arms, whatever you want to call it, he left a ball from Mahmud that pitched outside off stump and just kept going in a perfectly straight line before the stump cartwheeled. Why do batters do that? Makes you look a right mug.

    And Mahmud has bowled another. At least Falconer tried to play it. 48/4.

    Parky with the much needed breakthrough.

    A really interesting conversation with Simon Cook in the commentary box

    To be fair the pitch is looking like it’s flattening out rather quickly.

    I see Surrey are making a better fist in the second innings, after being bowled out by the mighty Glamorgan for 105 and following on. It looks like they need Fisher back to reinforce their batting  ;)

    443 all out for a lead of 27

    Bat 'til tomorrow lunchtime and then bowl them out in the final two sessions. That's the theory anyway!

    DBD (60) is responsible for the seventh Kent innings in this game with a score between 42 and 70. The whole of the Middlesex innings revolved around two players scoring 95 and 182 respectively. We really should be converting more of those to even bigger scores. 

    177-4 and a lead of 150

    I reckon we have a good chance to win this tbh.

    Kent all out 257. Middlesex need 231 to win.

    Going to be tough for Kent I fear. At least we picked up 7 bonus points which is good for us.

    Ball hits the stumps, but not enough to dislodge the bails  :#
