8.4 to Z Crawley, Through the gate! Murtagh gets on on about off stump that pitches and nips in, clipping the top of middle stump. Crawley's expansive drive found nothing but air. 29/1 32.5 to SW Billings, . 69/5 62.2 to MR Quinn, . 166/8 64.2 to WA Agar, . 180/9 | ||||||||||

17.6 to DJ Bell-Drummond, Gone! Good work from Bamber, keeping things tight against Bell-Drummond before offering the merest hint of width. The right-hander goes after it but can only edge high to Eskinazi's right, well taken by the stand-in skipper. 44/2 21.3 to JM Cox, A cartwheeling stump! With all due respect to Bamber, he is not known for taking out timber, but he's done just that here, profiting from a very bad leave from Jordan Cox. That's now 3 wickets lost for just 4 runs.... 48/4 43.1 to JDM Evison, . 92/6 55.3 to BG Compton, . 145/7 | ||||||||||

20.3 to JA Leaning, Higgins strikes! Just three balls in and the allrounder has drawn an edge: Leaning going hard outside off stump and nicking low to Robson at 2nd slip. Two wickets lost for three runs.... 47/3 65.2 to G Stewart, . 186/10 | ||||||||||

2.1 to MD Stoneman, Quick out the blocks... now back in the pavilion. Stoneman brisk start comes to an end, neither forward nor back, throwing his hands at a delivery and skewing it head height to Crawley at second slip, who parries the ball over the bar and into the hands of Cox at first. 22/1 10.2 to SD Robson, Good catch! Agar gets one to seam just enough up the slope to find an edge, brilliantly taken by second slip diving to his right. 47/3 54.4 to RF Higgins, . 216/9 58.1 to TJ Murtagh, . 229/10 | ||||||||||
| 14 | 2 | 53 | 2 | 3.78 | 62 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
27.4 to JA Simpson, Breakthrough! Middlesex's longest stand so far - 10.3 overs, for 28 runs - comes to an end, as Simpson is beaten by a fine delivery from Hogan from over the wicket, which pitches on leg and seams away from the left-hander, taken an edge along the way. 90/6 53.5 to TG Helm, . 206/8 | ||||||||||
| 13 | 1 | 51 | 2 | 3.92 | 56 | 7 | 0 | 0 | 1 | |
9.1 to PJ Malan, Gone! Seven balls after the interval, Malan skims a half-volley outside leg stump through to Billings. Should have gone for four, really, but Malan falls to the offside and can't connect adequately enough. 37/2 15.4 to MDE Holden, Another! Another tame dismissal from Holden, who presses forward and offers his bat for an edge duly found by Stewart. A slightly open face towards the covers means Billings has a view all the way, adjusting well as the ball just dips to shin height as it reaches him. 62/4 | ||||||||||

16.1 to SS Eskinazi, Sorry to say it's another Middlesex collapse... Stand-in captain Eskinazi feathers an edge through to Billings off Quinn's first delivery of the match. That's now 4 wickets lost for 25 runs.... 62/5 48.4 to LBK Hollman, . 165/7 | ||||||||||

0.1 to Z Crawley, . 0/1 0.2 to DJ Bell-Drummond, . 0/2 47.5 to SW Billings, Another! A five-ball duck for the Kent skipper, as Murtagh nips one into the right-hander. Keeps a bit low and Billings doesn't need to wait for the umpire's signal. Kent lead by 56, and that's lunch. 99/5 49.6 to BG Compton, . 104/6 51.6 to JDM Evison, . 109/7 53.4 to MR Quinn, . 109/9 | ||||||||||
