Looks like a reasonable Kent team. Good start for our guests. A bit surprising Harris doesn't get a game.

Are Marsh and Rogers battling out for the openers slot?

I'd guess Rogers will open.

Even if Marsh scores a 150?

Unless Rogers looks really bad.

I think you're right. Marsh was only filling in for an injured Rogers, so the latter will no doubt play in Cardiff.

I wonder what would happen if Adam Riley ran through the Aussies twice and recorded 15-120 in the match or something similar?

Not that I think it's even remotely a possibility, but imagine the clamour!

Both openers have played and missed at quite a few deliveries. But it's still been relatively easy for them so far.

Marsh, well done and giving the selectors a very difficult solution.

And Rogers is so experienced playing over here.

If Rogers is dropped do you reckon he can find someone who can give him some tickets to go and watch?

Kent please don't play Watson and Marsh into form so that they are picked for the 1st test.

Very easy for the Aussies. Smith looked the most comfortable. Clarke's innings was a strange one. A few edges and near misses but also absolutely nailed so many drives.

Cheers Dan.

Runs for everyone so far.
