Was that an inspired choice to bat first are just a poor innings.Yorkshire now a lead of 250 runs 6 wickets inhand.

Well Yorkshire won toss and decided to bat, maybe underestimating how difficult it was to bat on that wicket. Now it’s dried out a lot the runs are flowing.

Went to the match on Day One. After several rainy days in Kent leading up to the start of the game, the pitch looked a bit green. Slightly surprised by our decision to bat, and the pitch definitely helped the Kent bowlers, but nothing excessive, and the ball wasn't flying around the batsmen's heads. The Yorkshire batsmen didn't help themselves with a couple of run outs and some careless shots.Yorks total 210.
With the wicket drying out, Kent then got on top - young Zak Crawley looks like a great find for them and looked set for a ton but Patterson got his wicket early on Day Two. Kent keeper Robinson was defiant though and made 103, giving Kent a first innings lead of 86. Day Three belonged to Yorkshire, making a score of 469 - Ballance a 6-hour 159 and Leaning grafting away for 69. Coad and Olivier ripped into the Kent batmen in the final few overs of the day leaving Kent on 34-3, still about 350 behind. Great comeback by Yorkshire! If you have been watching on tv, don't be fooled by the sunny picture - there has been an icy breeze blowing across the ground for most of the game - very deceptive! Hopefully no rain interuptions tomorrow and Yorkshire can successfully finish the job
