Gloucestershire v Kent at Bristol
Gloucestershire 142 and 456, Kent 163 & 297

Kent's 6-man unbeaten run has come to an end
after they lose to Gloucestershire by an 
innings and 138 runs at Bristol earlier today.

Set 436 to win, Kent were only able reach
297 before losing their last wicket. Carl
Hooper was the mainstay of the innings making
111 (50 over his runs came in boundary).

Kent might have had a better chance of winning
had they been able to dismiss Gloucestershire
for less than the 456 they made in their 
second innings; but without Dean Headley
and Mark Ealham (on international duty) the
side was always going to be a weakened one.

Kent now prepare for their next championship,
at home to Worcestershire at the St.Lawrence
Ground, Canterbury on Wednesday.

See www.kent.cricket.org for the scorecard
and a full report from The Daily Telegraph.
