Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

That last session made me really proud. It was possible that heads would fall. If we don't let them any more partnerships and bat wisely, we'll have a chance to catch up tomorrow.

it certainly seemed hard going for much of the day

When does George Linde arrive?

The boys did a fantastic job navigating the final few overs. There's a lot of hope for tomorrow.

Linde prob available for Lancs.

Don't know if he was there before, but Jackson Bird could be a quality signing.

No; he's a newbie to us.

Take the points and move on; you might have played on that wicket for days and not gotten a result.

Linde apparently now dubious for Lancs

It would have been easy for a side to succumb to scoreboard pressure after the first Essex innings. Kent didn't do that which has to be a positive

Compton and Milnes, who batted brilliantly in the first innings, are back at the crease only a few hours later. Congratulations to Ben Compton, who appears to be on the field for the entire game.

Kent at least making Lancs work for a win.

Compton had a fantastic innings.

where's Leaning?

Did his hamstring in at some point between being named joint captain and the start of the season.

Unknown time of return.

ah....... bummer

Our bowling attack is too one-dimensional, allowing batsmen to get in and stay there too easily

Going to be a tricky four sessions to pull off a draw.
