When was the last time all of our top 5 have reached 35 in an innings? Certainly not this season. Disappointing that four have departed before going big but, given that a couple of those are 18/19, that is a positive nevertheless.2
-
Solid batting performance, though disappointing that nobody has gone on to make a big score.1
-
325-4 (90) at close. Our day but tomorrow we need a bare minimum of 450 and hopefully nearer 500.
DBD 66* (127)
Evison 29* (46)3 -

Agreed, good day, need another 175…and the Compton contract. Lovely day.4

Evison out throwing his hands at a wide one for 37 (57)
338-5 (100)
DBD 71* (140)1 -
9 overs to get 8 runs for a 3rd batting point and 58 runs, unlikely as that might be, for a 4th.1

352-5 and 3 batting points4

Easy pitch, kookaburra ball, boiling hot weather. Not a day to be a bowler.2
-
Prior to this game, Northants had taken all bar one of the bowling points available to them so we've done quite well to restrict them to 5 wickets in taking our 3 batting points.
375-5 (110)
DBD 89* (163)
Finch 17* (38)

The kookaburra ball makes a big difference too. Not one of Rob Key's better ideas.Addick Addict said:Prior to this game, Northants had taken all bar one of the bowling points available to them so we've done quite well to restrict them to 5 wickets in taking our 3 batting points.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the Kookaburra experiment, just seems to produce draws with huge batting scoreskillerandflash said:

A bizarre idea that changing the ball for a couple of games will change English seam and swing bowlers into Aussie pace and bounce bowlers, and create leg spinners. Especially when the pitches don't have Aussie bounce.MarcusH26 said:

DBD 100* (187) and Finch 51* (68) both reach milestones

I've been impressed how Finch's shot making has improved.2
-
We've not been very good at batting whichever ball we've mostly faced in the first innings of a match. This game is an exception.

Well done Harry, an excellent century. Conditions are easy, but he was busy from the start.3

In the Surrey Durham game, a double century for George Drissell.

What are Kent's batters fannying about at?
Only 550 runs off 150 overs on a road
Surrey have taken 740 off Durham in their 150 overs so far? 🤣😂
Need to declare now and have a burst at Notts's knackered batters before tea.1 -
The stream seems to have died in the heat!2

They might have to hire a coach to do that!Billy_Mix said:What are Kent's batters fannying about at?

Parkinson, in not reading the script, is out LBW for 4 off 21 balls

Kent declare after a fairly limp innings by Parky. Slightly curious timing, as they could have declared 15 minutes ago and had a longer bowl before tea OR just could have kept going.1

Even more curious timing as the umpires took tea between innings anyway.killerandflash said:Kent declare after a fairly limp innings by Parky. Slightly curious timing, as they could have declared 15 minutes ago and had a longer bowl before tea OR just could have kept going.0 -
Captain has to remember he's allowed to try and win matches, grim draws don't have to be the limit of his ambitions...killerandflash said:Kent declare after a fairly limp innings by Parky.
