    Can anyone see this line up getting 20 wickets (which we have only done once all season)
    Hope we're wrong but only if the ball takes a lot of spin and Chahal and Nijjar can exert some sort of pressure. The rest of our bowling attack consists of:

    Evison (17 wickets @ 45.82)
    Leaning (7 wickets @ 49.28)
    Hogan (7 wickets @ 62.71)
    DBD (2 wickets @ 42.50)
    Gilchrist (0-129 this season)
    They can - one to Chahal now

    174-6

    Surprised we've not used Nijjar yet. I can see Leaning and DBD getting a bowl too.
    Leaning took my hint  ;)

    2-15 from 7 overs. 
    Excuse me - he wouldn't be playing if I hadn't persuaded Walks to sign him up following the 2s game last week  :)

    The ball that Chahal bowled James with was an absolute corker!

    Are we level with Middx on points yet?

    No - by my calculation we are still one point behind. There are only 3 bowling bonus points (3-5 wickets, 6-8 wickets & 9-10 wickets) and Middx have 3 wickets to date

    I can see Middlesex drawing their game, with the amount of play being lost to the weather...

    Nijjar's last 12 overs he's taken 3-13. He's never looked that unplayable in the KPL when I've seen him! 

    Edit - he returned 10-3-13-3 & 10-3-26-1 against Bickley last season. Well, not THAT unplayable!

    Why does he play in the Kent league anyway, rather than one in Essex??

    Unusually, it is raining in Manchester. Lancs are 125-3 and trail Middlesex by 69 runs.

    This young Chahal chap seems pretty good - couple of good debuts out there today. 2 more please!

    Finch was a Sussex player though so that's historic, whereas Nijjar is from East London end of "Essex" so a long way from Minster

    The two players who were signed in the course of the last week:

    Chahal 20-3-52-3
    Nijjar   20-3-41-3

    219-8 at the end of the day. Notts still 227 runs behind

    A great bit of work by the Kent management.

    Surely (if we can) with the likelihood of rain we have to enforce the follow on tomorrow?

    The same reason, I suspect, that Laurie Evans (Surrey but originally from Blackheath I believe), Joe Parry (left Minster in June but from Essex), Bill Prideaux (Essex) and a few of the ones based in Kent do.

    Middlesex have been sanctioned by the ECB, but the points deductions are suspended.

    Now I wonder if those points deductions would have been suspended had little old Kent been in the same position?

    Or indeed Durham, who've finally recovered today from their forced demotion

    And if they do get relegated, will the points miraculously by deducted this season after all?

    I went today and it was an interesting day where the pendulum and our mood when watching seemed to swing.

    For me it was great to see two spinners exerting pressure and picking up wickets during the afternoon. County cricket as it used to be.

    First thing it felt frustrating that we didn't appear to chase the 5th batting point. That said if I'd been offered 4 batting bonus points 48 hours ago I'd have bitten your hand off. 446 could still prove to be  challenging for Notts to attain in total if we can pick up their final 2 wickets quickly and impose the follow-on.  We need that 3rd bowling point in any event. One wicket needed for that.

    Hogan looked good before lunch and much more hostile than the other occasions I've seen him this season. However the Notts batsmen didn't look in any real trouble against the pace bowlers although Gilchrist was edged through the slip cordon a couple of times. 

    Darren Stevens was there this afternoon and had a long chat with Joe Denly in between Joe's numerous fielding spells as 12th man. Could he be coming back in a coaching role? Time will tell.

    Realistically once we lost a couple of wickets, the run rate to get to 450 within 110 overs would have been too difficult.

    I thought it was a shame that Stevo didn't formally retire at the end of last season. He clearly thought another county would pick him up, and it didn't happen.
