Anyone know when Kent last had two players bat together in a test match?
It would have happened in the seventies but has it happened since then?
15th August 1981, Fifth Ashes Test, Manchester, England's second innings. Tavare (78) and Knott (59). (They also batted together in the first innings).
There can't have been too many batsmen like Denly who have batted in Test cricket 24 times with no hundreds and yet only been out in single figures in 3 of them:
Pope is true quality. He should be told that he is in the Test side for the whole of 2020 regardless of his scores because the only thing that will undo him is confidence. But he doesn't seem to be lacking on that front either.

Nice throwback to cricket as it was in my youth.
The last time England batted throughout the first session of a Test match, without Cook and Strauss being the two openers, was twelve years ago.

Not sure if it's happened since.

He seems to doing the hard bit in getting in (15 of them are 20 plus) so is this a shot selection or concentration issue because ?
10 overs left
Great news for us though!
