And again at 2.40

Has Canterbury had its own weather system today, as elsewhere in the south it's been fairly dry. Windy too, which will help dry the outfield

Drainage issues that have never been addressed

Funnily enough it does seem to have its own micro climate. I remember a Kent age group game about six years ago where we didn't have a single drop of rain all day but as soon as we left Canterbury there were puddles upon puddles from the deluge the rest of the County got. We're at St Lawrence & Highland Court on Saturday so hope we're not singled out for the rain!

SLHC just had a new square put down, and rumour has it they don't want anyone playing on it when it's wet! (At lest, that's what the Hayes boys told me on Saturday!)

It's just our chances of winning the County Championship that have quickly gone down the drain this season...

I see Surrey have slumped from 135-0 to 142-6!

Addick Addict

Glamorgan have won the toss and elected to field. The whisper regarding the line up has been confirmed in so far as Ollie Robinson will open the batting with DBD dropping down to 6. Billings is back in the side but Robinson will continue as keeper.

Good luck Ollie!

So we have gone from 60-0 to 84-6

same old Kent

DBD moving down the order didn't work

Fairly low scoring in all the county matches currently being played. 
Autumnal weather in May not helping.

150-8 with Stevo once again showing everyone how it's done, top scoring with an unbeaten 50

Fanny Fanackapan

The only match currently in play today !

Once again Canterbury has its own weather system!

Incredible knock, been watching. Hope for us all

EIGHT sixes in his ton

Century partnership for the 9th wicket, of which Cummins has 1

the man is basically kent's bowling attack and batting line up at this point - usually that would be incredible, but at his age it's beyond anything.

Fanny Fanackapan

11 4's & 14 6s so far ! 

SOOPERSTEVO !!!!!

Like Graham Napier before him, you have to wonder how he never played internationals

eh, napier had a couple of decent seasons in t20 (his 150 is one of the greatest sporting feats i've ever seen live on tv). But wasn't he basically found out as a front foot merchant?

Leuth

Napier should have played short-form for England

MrOneLung

307 all out

God scored 190

from BBC :

Safe to say Miguel Cummins was a junior partner in that stand of 166 with Darren Stevens...

Stevens made 160 of them, Cummins one and there were five extras.

ESPNcricinfo reporting that Stevens' contribution of 96.38% is the highest in a 100-plus partnership in first-class cricket

Leuth

Wasn't there a Stewart-Thomas partnership that went very similarly a while back?

randy andy

Glamorgan 16-2 in reply, struggling as badly as everybody except Stevens

Yep, the day/night match against Middlesex in June 2018:

https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/county-div-two-2018-1127614/kent-vs-middlesex-1127702/full-scorecard

Kent 241 & 281, Middlesex  56 & 124

Kent won by 342 runs

Kent 2nd inns, 10th wicket partnership: 100 (99 balls) - IAA Thomas 1 (36) G Stewart 95 (63)

The alternative result (not recorded in Wisden) was:

G Stewart 38 & 103, Middlesex  56 & 124
Middlesex won by 39 runs

Oh, and Stewart took 6-22 in 10 overs and 2-36 in 11 when Middlesex batted.

God wasn't playing in this match. If he had he'd have taken 10 wickets in the match to go with the ton.

Poor effort by Stewart.

Reminds me of when I bowled leg spin to Jimmy Giles, two months before he joined Charlton.

What a trouper Stevo is! Where would we be without him?

Napier was in a World Cup squad, wasn’t he?

Bottom of the group?

Oh.

He really was seeing it like a football in the video.

I imagine his back will be a bit sore this evening, from carrying the whole team

Ratio isn't quite as good but Matt Dunn scoring 4 whilst KP scored 300 against Leicestershire a few years back (when KP was hoping he could get back in the England side) was better in my view.
