That's my query. It looks likely we may yet end up batting again today. What sort of wicket have we prepared and can we be reported for it? At least our batting figures will suggest it's more a lack of prowess than a cabbage patch wicket.
With the exception of our match against Gloucester earlier in the season and with Derby last week, when we smashed over 500 in the first innings, our games have produced low first innings totals for both sides regardless of where they've been played.
Today seems to be no different to the rest of the season, hopefully the result is the same!

You know Kent will bowl well, and that Northants will probably be bowled out cheaply, but we need batting points as well
Is it poor batting all round, excellent bowling or the pitch?
Will we be facing a points deduction to make absolutely certain we finish third?

This match 4-13 so far
That jet lag has a lot to answer for!
Northants will be pleased that they held Kent to 137 as it means they can't be asked to follow-on!
When a spinner (Leach) takes 5-28 on the first day, you've got a helpful surface!
Kent 137 ao Northants 31-5 (15 ov) - Kent lead by 106
Sussex 219-6 (64 ov) v Leics
Gloucs 150-4 (64 ov) v Middlesex
Latest score:
Warks 114-4 (40.3ov) (Match started at 12:40pm)
Looks like only a matter of time before we secure the third bowling point.
71-8
Pretty poor weather will be the Kent excuse I'm sure
and here's one Kent prepared earlier

Yes both these examples are from a few years back but there is a precedent.
