[mattfb]

nice pres, kent maybe struggling?

Just Maybe well they have started off there bowling well with the early wicket

 

[Highlander999]

Yeah I am slightly worried about the score. I will begin the action tomorrow though, so updates Friday possibly saturday but I have a cup match coming up for my school football team so I am busy alos have prelims coming up as well , but I'll keep you all updated

 

[Highlander999]

M.Di Venuto sends Derbyshire off to a flyer

Stubbings almost edges off a ball which wickedly moved off the seam

More updates coming now

 

[Highlander999]

After 5 overs Derbyshire are 18/1 but M.Di Venuto is stringing some boundaries together

M.Di Venuto falls attempting to pull

This was the wicket Kent had been looking for as M.Di Venuto had hit a few fours and a massive six

After 10 overs the score is 38/2

Stibbings begins to perk up. This shot fell just short of the rope

After 15 overs Derbyshire have moved onto 68/2. Kent need wickets and fast

After 20 overs the score is now 82/2, with Fulton becoming restless and the rate of runs being scored

 

[Highlander999]

S.COOK GETS THE BREAKTHROUGH

Bowling a yorker Stubbings attempted to clip it off his legs but hit it straight to D.Fulton at square leg

This brings C.Bassano to the crease

Who turns straight back around after 2 minutes when he is out for a duck once again off the bowling of S.Cook, is there hope yet for kent?

 

[Highlander999]

After 21 overs the score is now 84/4 with the match evenly poised

R.FERLEY GETS HIS FIRST WICKET

On a pitch which is not turning R.Ferley looks like he is follwoing in A.Botha's footsteps when he bowls J.Bryant

Hasan Adnan clips a shot of his legs which runs away for four

HASAN ADNAN ESCAPES

Attempting a slog off R.Ferley it just clears M.Walker for a six. However a six is a six no matter how it gets there. However Derbyshire will want Hasan Adnan to calm down as they will need him to stay in if they are to have any chance of winning

 

[Highlander999]

After 25 overs the score is 101/5, this looks like it could be a tight finish

Hasan Adnan hits another six!!!

Kent need to get him out soon if they stand any chance of winning this match

HASAN ADNAN TRIES ONE SLOG TO MANY

Attempting a slog over deep square wicket of the bowling of R.Ferley, R.Key pulls of a superb catch, quite honestly one of the possible best catches of the season, especially in the circumstances

 

[mattfb]

Well Derbyshire were doing great but a bit slow at first, then they increased the run rate but lost wickets and Kent are looking good, but a super catch down there on the boundaray

 

[plympilgrim]

great going by kent and derbyshire too, this should be tight

 

[Highlander999]

DERBYSHIRE LOSE MORE WICKETS

First to go is T.Friend of the bowling of S.Cook. A perfect yorker

Then A.Botha goes after 20 quick runs

KENT ARE NOW INTO THE LAST TWO BATSMEN VICTORY IS WITHIN THEIR GRASP

After 30 overs Derbyshire have 136 runs but no wickets left

Ferley gets the last wicket

KENT WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is Derbyshire's final scorecard

Kent's bowling stats, everyone performed well except R.Joseph

Derbyshire's patnership stats

and their manhattan

Man of the match was no surprise

The game's summary

This was a very hard pitch to bat on and Kent's bowlers and batsmen did well. The only slight concern for Kent was the bowling of R.Joseph and the fact that there were so many ducks. However encouragement should be taken from both D.Fulton's and G.Jones fine innings

Kent's next match is a Frizzel match against Warwickshire. Kent are expected to be announcing their team soon

 

[Jaztheman]

great pres highlander nad nice win for kent

 

[Highlander999]

Here we are at Canterbury. The pitch looks to have a lot of bounce in it but the cloud cover and warm air means the ball might swing

Here is the Kent team

The opening pair get off to a good start with a boundary in the first over

In the second over FULTON EDGES

BUT IS DROPPED BY N.CARTER

After 10 overs the score is 14/0. Kent are off to a steady start

 

[plympilgrim]

slow start by kent they need to speed up a bit

 

[Highlander999]

FULTON EDGES AGAIN OF THE BOWLING OF D.PRETORIOUS

AND ONCE AGAIN IS DROPPED BY N.CARTER

The 50 partnership arrives but D.Fulton has not looked comfortable

After 20 overs the score is now 58/0 with Kent going strongly

Warwicksire have only used 3 bowlers and one was A.Giles which is a bit surprising

 

[Highlander999]

M.WALKER ESCAPES

Almost an inside edge

D.FULTON IS FINALLY DISMISSED

A short delivery of D.Pretorious and N.Carter at square leg finally catches one

R.Key emerges hoping to do better here then in the opening match

M.WALKER REALLY OPENS UP

Lunch is declared by the umpires

At lunch on Day 1 the score is 102/1

Warwickshire's bowling stats

D.Pretorious has been the pick of the bowlers
