NORTHAMPTONSHIRE V KENT, DAY 2 OF 4
Kent 218 Northants 153-0, 
Northants 65 runs behind

79 from Alan Wells took Kent to a reasonable 
total after they had been 112 for 6 at one stage 
in their first innings. Further support came 
from Steve Marsh with 33. However the bowlers 
undoubtedly dominated with four wickets apiece 
for Rose and Taylor. 

Northamptonshire have had an ideal start to 
their innings so far. An unbeaten 54 over 
partnership between Bailey and Swann led them 
to 154 without loss at the close of play on 
Thursday, just 65 runs behind Kent. 

Kent had struggled during the first day, which 
was curtailed to less than 3 hours due to rain 
and bad light in Northampton. At one stage they 
were 45 for 4, but Alan Wells and Chris Walsh 
survived the remaining overs of the afternoon 
to take the visitors to 83 for 4 by the close. 

There is a full scorecard and newspaper report
available on the CricInfo website.
Play starts at 11am today, half hourly reports
on BBC Radio Kent.
