Wonderful century by Vince but then bowled by what looked to me like a no ball.

Thought exactly the same. Even on video evidence No way was any part of his heal behind the crease.

Yes. It looked well over the line.

We've missed you, Liam.

(This is why you don't take a stupid single, Brad, with 10 overs still left.)

That's 350+ out of the window. But that 310 to 320 minimum remains.

Thankfully the window was locked up!

Keep the faith!

Very nice having our middle order somewhat restored (ie Dawson).

Very nice having a tail that can bat.

Why have we brought Steyn in?

Thankfully Kent haven't matched Somerset's blistering start.

Blistering start absolutely. But it's only the required rate. With the PP in operation, and Myburgh as their big hitter.

True, but I was comparing it with our start, and being able to relax a bit with our game whilst Essex remain in control of theirs.

To gift Somerset a stack of runs.

I wouldn't use the word gift. He bowled the odd wide ball, but mainly it's down to two aggressive openers. Really doesn't help with you drop two straight forward catches in the field.

Anyway, it's all going wrong for Kent.

[st_brendy]

Three drops out of three. Going well.

[st_brendy]

Good, another drop...

Dale Steyn is making Matt Dixon look a world beater.
