    Leaning out LBW first ball. 
    Leaning = Wanker

    As a result of those three wickets, there are now no less than 8 fielders around the bat for Evison.

    Sorry everyone
    It happens. Rather that than "after timers".

    It is a bit much when a 19-year-old is 53* but five old pros are back in the hutch for a combined total of 26 runs.

    The good news is that his contract extension means that he will be with us until at least of the 2026 season.

    I don't think I've seen many times times six fielders wearing helmets at the same time.

    So Lancashire were ablevtobtrat this wicket like a T20  and run up over 600 runs, andvthis morning we look like a team of trialists. Embarrassing. The score are chasing should be possible but I have my doubts well make it to tea time. Lucky we have for the moment sunk as low as possible.

    Indeed although even if we reach that target, Lancs will have an opportunity to chase down any miniscule lead we produce. Evison has come out in exactly the positive way I would have expected of those batting above him

    111-5 (44). 154 behind with 52 overs of the day to go.

    Jaydn out for 57 (97)

    116-6

    Evison 27* (46)

    Finch goes for a duck and becomes the third of our batters to offer a catch to Jennings at short leg. It would be laughable if it weren't so criminal.

    I’ve lost count of how many times I have said this but this is probably now the worst pathetic performance I’ve ever seen in my time watching Kent, this team continue to beat their previous shameful efforts.

    Oh dear! Innings defeat by tea time. We really are at our lowest ebb, and deservedly bottom of the league. There needs to be a major shake up at Kent.

    To be fair to the lads, we can't go any lower than being bottom of Div 2 so the only way is up by definition.

    How many players are there OOC at the end of the season? Enough to have a major clear out and reset?

    More than half I would say.

    So, because Evison and Stewart have shown some attacking intent, Lancs have gone from eight around the bat to a slip and two short legs and a spread field. The top order just played into their hands and made it too easy to put pressure on us. DBD, Muyeye, Leaning and Finch were out for a combined 16 runs off 91 balls / 15.1 overs.  

    185-7 (60) at tea

    80 behind with 36 overs to go (less 2 should we force Lancs to bat again)

    Evison 47* (94)
    Stewart 41* (38)

    That sounds like exactly what you need. Would have some concerns about the likes of Tawanda and Gilchrist going to the test playing counties too but that's just Div 2 really. 

    The young talent is there to come through with the likes of Jaydn and Dawkins when he's allowed to play but there seems to be a lot of money spent on overseas and senior experienced players that hasn't worked out. Or you'll hit on an overseas like Dudgeon or Xavier Bartlett and then injuries/availablity hampers things.

    244-7 (70) and trail by just 21 now with 26 overs left in the day.

    A superb counter-attack from Stewart and Evison. We are being somewhat aided by Anderson's inability/unwillingness to bowl himself but it does go to show that there were very few minefields in this pitch. 

    Evison 57* (123)
    Stewart 87* (70)

    Feels like Muyeye has made more and feels like Leaning has made fewer

    Anderson has now returned, some three overs before the new ball is due. We lead by 17 with probably no more than 14 overs to go.

    Muyeye has one ton and three fifties whereas Leaning has a top score of 40. The feeling of there being a bigger disparity is probably also due to Muyeye being top scorer in the whole of the Blast whereas Leaning has a best of 24 in that competition.
