COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

On Friday evening Kent lost their championship
match with Somerset by an innings and 46 runs;
after they lost 19 wickets in the course of the
day.

Kent slumped to 86 all out in their first 
innings and were only about to make 210 in the
second as Andy Caddick took 10-101.

Caddick became the first player of the season
to reach 100 first-class wickets; the first
Englishman to achieve the feat since Neil
Foster in 1991.

Four Kent batsmen were out for ducks during
the morning.  At the second attempt the main
contributor was Robert Key, making 56, he
and Ed Smith putting on 70 for the second
wicket.

A full scorecard (plus report by Geoffrey
Dean from the Electronic Telegraph) is 
available on CricInfo.

KENT v SOMERSET at Canterbury, AXA League

This afternoon Kent play their final Sunday
League game of the season at the St.Lawrence
Ground.  The match with Somerset starts at 1pm
(gates opened at 10 o'clock).

Tickets £5 concessions, £10 adults, £10 cars

There will be reports on BBC Radio Kent at 
1.04pm and 1.30, with full commentary from
2 o'clock in "Cricket Sunday"; presented
by Neil Bell and John Warnett.

The pair have been broadcasting commentary on
Sundays together for the past ten years and 
today's programme will almost certainly be
the last one in it's present format; given the
unpredictability of fixtures for the coming
season.

It's yet to be revealed what time next year's
new National League matches will start - they
will last 50 overs and it looks as though there
will be an 11 or 12 o'clock start with a 40
minute break between innings.

As I write this weather forecast for this
afternoon isn't great, with a lot of low cloud
around the Canterbury area.
