Following Kent's first pre-season friendly match of 1999, the team 
have three days rest before they begin 5 further warm-up matches at 
Canterbury on Monday.  David Fulton (who top scored with 77) spoke to 
BBC Radio Kent's Neil Bell after the game about his views on day/night 
cricket:

"There's got to be a future in it.  The one day game has got to move 
towards being more consumer friendly, and getting the crowds in... 
whether we're going to be the spitfires or the knights or whatever...
some people argue its a bit gimmicky but that's the way the game's 
going and the crowds seem to enjoy it.  Its the way forward."

Mon 5 April - v Surrey at Canterbury
Tue 6 April - v Surrey at Canterbury

Mark Ealham made 36 for England against Lahore Gymkhana on Thursday 
as the tourists beat the local side by a comprehensive 137 runs.  To 
allow all 14 of the touring party to be involved in a proper match, 
Vince Wells and Andrew Flintoff played for the opposition - the 
latter's quickfire 112 not enough to take them to the massive 376 
run victory target.

Apart from his 36 with the bat, Ealham took 0 for 37 from the five 
overs he bowled.  See our England pages for links to the scorecard 
and a newspaper report - http://england.cricket.org
