    He was expensive this morning, but looked much more dangerous (in the legitimate sense!) and economical this afternoon.

    Ordinarily you'd say 350 is in the bag, but Kent are rocking up with four number 11s, so it's going to be rather tense

    Denly making his move

    And the new ball due in four overs time
  • Play due to re-start at 4.55pm at Trent Bridge
    Trent Bridge's drainage/ground staff somewhat faster than Bristol's
  • Denly reaches his ton. Just the innings we needed from him.


  • Brilliant ton by Denly.

    Great that Denly and Compton have got back into form, but frustrating that it's taken the end of September to find it!

    Surely 350 beckons now. Surely they can't screw this.

    I want them to do it!
  • Scores level

    327-4
  • Only the 38 overs left in the game according to the stream. Glow sticks are being handed out to the crowd and hi-vis jackets are being readied for the teams
  • What’s the significance of 350?

    Does that mean we can all start Whooping and a Hooping?
  • 3 batting bonus points the same as Middlesex

    Prevents Kent losing out due to any bonus point shenanigans I believe.

    The equation becomes simple. Match the Middlesex result and Kent stay up.

    Now for two days of rain in Kent and playable cloud in Nottingham
  • Annoyingly going off for bad light 5 runs short of the 350 figure. No difference in the bigger picture, but would have been nice to have got there tonight

  • 345-4 with bad light stopping play

    Denly 105* (149)
    Finch 24* (56)

    But, I guess there’s the potential of Middlesex win and that not looking likely in our match, we’re still vulnerable?

    There's only one match still playing...

    Well we're now ahead of Lancashire and going well, so could get a decent 1st innings lead tomorrow.

    If Notts can get up near Middlesex's total, you can't see Middlesex winning with just 2 days to go

    You just know Middlesex will get a wicket and they'll immediately go off for bad light
  • Off for bad light at 92-2, that'll surely be that. I imagine the Middlesex players will be pretty disheartened at the Kent score. 
  • Overall, it's been a great day for us.  Some serendipity doing us a favour - maybe luck is on our side?

    We might just scrape it, as long as the weather doesn't chuck us a googly...

    Notts will be the ones to chuck that googly
  • Notts at stumps are 92-2

    Great effort from the team so far.
