    82-4. No comment.
    Compton, having scored 17 off 83 balls, decides to play an attacking shot to a short ball and is caught.

    Kent doing their best to make the declaration timing look like the correct call...

    This is ridiculous. Finch out to another ill judged hack and caught at first slip. 5 down with our tail having to try and see out another 17 overs. Very poor.

    Is Muyeye ill or injured?

    Brainless from Agar. Not that it’ll make a lot difference I fear. Looks like Northants are only going to need 9 wickets. If it weren’t for the rain we’d have probably lost already!

    Is Muyeye ill or injured? 
    He will play no further part in the game and has left due to personal reasons. That has to be something serious and in those circumstances, the result might become a bit of an irrelevancy.

    Not to me it won't.

    Whatever the result, the fragility of our batting under pressure has been shown in the last 2 games. Two final day collapses, entirely down to not coping with the pressure of the match situation, rather than demons in the pitch.

    The result is a bit of an irrelevancy whatever the circumstances. We aren't going up. Full stop. It's all about building for next season now.

    Incredible, said last week it was a new low this might trump it again

    Quinn out but Muyeye has returned.

    25 minutes to go so probably a maximum of 7 overs. Currently 19 behind but if we do get level inside the next 5 overs then that will be it.

    If we get 6 more runs then we will only have to bat for another 8 minutes.

    We are in front. Just 4 more minutes to negotiate.

    Like has been said, to get 550 plus and be hanging on for life by day 4, we are brutally short of quality.

    Probably the worst Kent team in my lifetime, dsying back to the late seventies. I'll accept we have injury woes, but to watch Northants run up over 700 runs on that wicket, only for us yo collapse so badly is just infuriating. Not sure how we expect to rebuild either. If our better ayers are leaving, and we seem to be pretty skint, I can't see any reason to hope for better next year.

    There's definitely a mental fragility to our batting, when under pressure,  that i hoped Holioake might have improved.

    We aren't very good at batting on anything other than flat decks and where there is no pressure and haven't been for a number of seasons.

    That said, we had an 18-year-old and a 19 year-old in our top three in this match and both batted very positively. The only way they are going to get better is by playing first team cricket and this really is the ideal season for them to gain that experience. The alternative is that we revert to the likes of Leaning and Joe Denly, once he's fit, with potentially the same situation next season and an expectation that the likes of Jaydn and Ekansh then come in and perform without this experience. 

    I would encourage people to look at Ekansh's boundaries in the second innings and then see the ball he received from Chahal that would have got out any number of batters. The fifth boundary, in particular, was pure class.

    Muyeye's brother was in a car accident. Thankfully he's ok. 

    Something which would have brought back terrible memories for Hollioake. He's interesting on the Kookaburra ball, as we apparently had it reversing yesterday, but that ball got lost...

    Kent chasing 196 runs against Sussex in the Blast.

    This isn’t a 190 pitch whatsover, bowled so so poorly

    Surprised Kent bothered with Parkinson when Sussex have one part time spinner in James Coles and the rest of the attack is gonna be pace.

    I was avoiding replying as at 80-1, we were looking well placed. Now 83-3 and the doubts return :)

    Leaning. What does he do! 

    Billings woeful with the bat yet again. Never bowl our overs in time either!
