I think the game was lost for Kent when Pattinson had 3 for 0 or something.

Denly's got a bit of a golden arm. Picks up the occasional important wicket. In any case Kent have gone with 5 seamers and left Yasir on the bench.

Love that Rashid's current fantasy score for the round is -31

by nickcricket 6/27/2017 2:52:40 PM
Bit brainless from Hales. Trying to slog sweep Denly's leg spin with men out on the boundary.

Nickosaurus United All Rounder Mullaney goes on, if not could lose a couple more and have him bat with Pattinson that would be a real help

Any word on why Buttler isn't keeping? Can see why Kent don't want to switch half way though when Billings leaves for Lions duty

Dez: Like this. Should be back on after, err, snap.

How's the weather near Headingley Yorkies?

This is getting a bit embarrassing for Kent. Time to do a raindance!

by mdpayne87 6/27/2017 2:38:15 PM
Me thinks I have stuck to the Darren Stevens gravy train for too long in the fantasy league. Time to jump back on the Ben Duckett one?

by Mark Ofield 6/27/2017 2:37:36 PM
Quick 40 from Ross Whiteley and Worcs are back in control. Quick wickets from Durham and it's game on at the ICG...

Jon Culley at Notts 246-3 v Kent

This game is already in danger of running away from Kent, whose bowlers have been able to do little to contain Mullaney and Hales, who have added 194 runs in just over 44 overs, including the tricky passage under the lights last night. Mullaney completed his first hundred of the season with an ugly slash over the slips for four in what has been a really gritty performance given that he was feeling decidedly under the weather yesterday evening. Mullaney began the season late, missing the first three Championship matches through injury, but is already well on the way to 500 runs. Hales is rattling along nicely as well at 75 from 141 balls, although he was almost caught at deep square leg with one that went up in the air off Matt Coles.

George Dobell at Warwickshire (77-3) v Lancashire (273)

Jordan Clark has produced a fine ball to account for Ian Bell. Clarke persuaded it to leave the batsman just a touch off the seam, taking the edge on the way to the keeper. Maybe there wasn’t much footwork from Bell, but it was a fine ball to a new batsman.

Belly you need to learn some discipline

He's done it! 16 off 100 balls. Magnificent.

George Dobell at Warwickshire (77-2) v Lancashire (273)

No sooner written than… Trott has paid the price for trying to play across one. A bread and butter shot for him, of course, but maybe the ball was a bit full for the stroke. Fair rewards for Lancs, though: they’ve stuck to this really well. No respite at all for the batsmen from an accurate seam attack who have pounded the pitch hard. Ian Bell is in now. How Warwickshire could do with him scoring the runs his class suggests he should…

by George.Dobell 6/27/2017 2:24:44 PM
Also, Tim Ambrose is stuck on 9999 first class runs currently. He probably wants a bat soon!

George Dobell at Warwickshire (77-1) v Lancashire (273)

Jonathan Trott has 50 here. He’s had to work hard for it, especially last night, and has played and missed two or three times outside off stump. In between times, he’s put the short ball away and worked anything anywhere near his pads – which includes deliveries outside off stump sometimes – into the leg side. The pink ball seems to go pretty soft after about 20 overs, so this period of play could become attritional. Especially on a slow-ish wicket like this. We may also have some rain on the way. Looks pretty ominous….

by George.Dobell 6/27/2017 2:21:33 PM
Just four balls away from a remarkable Cowan for Umeed.

@nickcricket Equally I wonder if Durham will be tempted to do similar?

by Beth Watson 6/27/2017 2:10:50 PM
@BethWatson hope Worcs have to bat again to see if they go further in reversing the batting order
