Your wish has come true! 7-2 in reply, both openers out!

[Shrimpergonzo]

Tredwell gone now!

15/4 at the close............I'll take that! :smile:

 

[number11]

Great day for Essex. Kent 4 down and 130 odd behind. One of the wickets is of a nightwatchman but Tredwell can get runs so good he had gone. They've still got northeast and Stevens yet to bat and some possible lower order runs in Coles and claydon but they need to have a great day to stay in the title hunt

 

[Blueronron]

Close 15.4 well played Northants

Yep, with Northeast still to come in, it could all still go south-west :smile:.................let's hope not! Of course being a Blues supporter, no sooner have we gained promotion, I'll be worrying how on earth we'll manage to stay up next season! :winking:

Just checked the close of play score and got a lovely surprise!

 

[number11]

Also, reading the report of today's play it seems Kent can bring in Sam Billings to bat for them tomorrow.

 

[undercovershrimper]

Northeast gone for 1, 22/5

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Billings between us and the Title? :smile:

 

[Blueronron]

22.5 get in

[undercovershrimper]

106/6 Nightwatchman Viljoen goes for a well made 58. Kent still trail by 48. Stevens in now with Billings

 

[Blueronron]

How comes Billings can bat second innings, when not in the first innings

Bit confused any one help ?

Amazing performance by Northants though :happy:

 

[undercovershrimper]

113/7 Billings bowled Crook 39, kent still 41 adrift

Amazing performance by Northants though :happy:

Was away with England at start of match so under stupid ECB rules they can sub him in after international duty

 

[Blueronron]

Thanks UCS, what a stupid ruling never heard of that one

Still he's out and so it seems Kent promotion hopes :happy:
