  • 334-6 (Rouse out for 8)

    Really hard to judge how many runs will be enough, as while Denly and Dickson got tons, most people failed

    If we set 500 and they get it they deserve it.

    The lead is 410 as I type with 4 wickets in hand.

    We need more with Trott and Bell up against us.

    Tunbridge Wells is a small ground.
  • Barker has been told by the umpires that he can't bowl any more due to running on the protected area. The new ball isn't old and he has taken 9 of their 16 wickets so, hopefully, we can take advantage of his absence.

    The trials of bowling left arm over.

    I used to have that problem sometimes when I played.

    Did they have the "protected are" in those days Len?

    Wasn't called that then but amounted to much the same thing. The area 4 feet (from memory) from off stump to a right hand bat.

    I think I've been 'whooshed!'

    Underarm when I played. Me and Darren's 8 x great grandfather 'Lumpy' Stevens.

    357-6 at the close. Crawley 47* the lead 429

    EDIT: Score corrected to 359-6 so the lead is 431
  • 359-6 at close and a healthy lead of 431. Another 50 or so would be good.

    An overcast day tomorrow would be also nice but, somehow, I don't think that's going to happen.
  • Obviously we still have 2 days to go, but Kent will be wary of not running out of time as they did against Gloucs in a game they dominated

    Good point.

    I think they will be either bowled out before lunch or else achieve a lead of 500 by lunch and declare.

    That will give them a minimum of 5 sessions. In reality they will probably have more than that.

    Kent scored 355 runs today. All of a sudden 400 odd doesn't look that big to chase over 2 days which is why I keep saying we need more.

  • Apparently the second new ball was quite a testing period, so I imagine it's one of those games where the new ball is dangerous, but once it goes soft it becomes much easier to bat, especially once a batsman is set

    We will have two "bites of the cherry" though and possibly one on each morning when the bowlers are fresh too.
  • I'll be down there to see Trott grind out 45no in 5 hours

    But as I'll be in the CAMRA beer tent, I won't care :smile:
  • 395-6 so a lead of 467 Crawley 67* his highest career score and hopefully counting

    Now on 84, steady progress this morning, everyone is waiting for Kent to bowl...

    Podmore caught behind for 24
  • 413-7 Crawley 85* lead 485
  • edited June 2018
    Crawley goes for 93.

    Kent 423-8, a lead of 495
  • Crawley out for 92, he'd looked a bit loose before the dismissal
  • Declaration at 446-8

    Warwickshire require 519 to win.

    And that would be a record first class chase against us.
  • Warwickshire 26-0 at lunch
  • You'd expect Warks to do better second time round, it'll be interesting how the spinners get on as Patel looked quite dangerous this morning
  • Typical that Crawley gets a big score after I'd called him out!

    Good for him though, hope he kicks on.

    Still no runs for Rouse though.
  • I predict we lose...

    Early days still but Warwickshire chugging along nicely on 42-0 with Bell and Trott still to come amongst others.
  • 44-1 Podmore.
  • 104-1

    519 is a lot of runs but they'll have 250 plus by the close if they keep on the way they are.

    We need wickets.
  • Get a grip lads
