I've just noticed that Andre Adams is playing for Hants in this match. Good for him. He's been a good solid cricketer over the years.

Is it bad for Hants that he's playing though?

I think he's only on a short term contract as cover for the early season, also doing some coaching work.

James Taylor out for 59.

Going by people who are at the game, it seems that this Kent score might be competitive. Very green pitch with plenty of movement and variable bounce.

[Alviro Patterson]

KP is in and there are over 2000 spectators in to see him.

Failed with the bat, out for 19.

I could hear Moores and Cook laughing all the way from the Caribbean.

An easy 170 against a minor counties level outfit, but come the might of CC2 he's not up to it!

and at a ground where the square is on a horizontal slant, making it difficult for bowlers to put their foot through upon their delivery stride.

Not sure we've got much chance of staying up if he doesn't perform. We'll have next to no depth to our attack otherwise. A signing out of necessity.

Pietersen's had one innings FFS. At least give him a few matches.

Says it all with Jesse Ryder getting a 5-fer

This is the pitch:

Jesse took wickets for fun last year, so good to see him carrying on..

also our strength is line and length bowling, so of course we will prepare green seamers.... (beauty of home advantage..)

[SaintPowelly]

Need Coles to run through them

[andy]

Stevens could also run through our brittle batting line up on that pitch..

[Aidan11]

Pitch inspectors could be making an early visit to Chelmsford.

[andy]

how ridiclous..early season conditions, especially in div2, you will get green seamers

[Arthur Crabtree]

Hales' lone hand hundred is destroying Yorkshire.

Hales' lone hand hundred is destroying Yorkshire.

Could do with him out before stumps, Yorkshire might be able to restrict Notts to 400.
