Not the best of starts for Kent and at the end of the over its 20/0
Leicestershire Innings 2nd Over
Henderson bowls from the other end to Maddy and its a maiden.

Kent v World XI
As the press speculated Ponting has not made the starting XI and it has emerged that his injury was caused by catching his manhood in his fly.
Kent win the toss and elect to chase a total.

But Khan wipes the smile off his face as Gilchrist is caught by Bravo.

Skipper for the day Brian Lara walks out to the crease and the over ends on 20/2.

and the second,
and the third.
A brilliant stop in the slips prevents a fourth consecutive four.

Key keeps faith with Khan. Khan doesnt repay his captain in the best way as he bowls a very wide ball.
Big sixes from Tendulkar and Lara follow.
Khan ends on a highnote though, as he bags the wicket of Lara. The World XI are now 85/3.
World XI 8th Over
Henderson continues and Kallis is facing. The World XI are really knocking it about and Kallis manages 2 fours and a six to bring the score to 100/3 at the end of the over.
