2.4 to Z Crawley, Cleaned up! Guthrie with his maiden dismissal for Northants, leaving just leg stump standing as he barrels one in full outside off, which decks through a huge gap between Crawley's bat and pad. 3/1 10.5 to DJ Bell-Drummond, Caught behind! Tight to the stumps, good length, with enough movement back into the right-handed Bell-Drummond to have the Kent skipper pressing forward. McManus takes the catch above his head as the ball skips through via an edge. 37/2 | ||||||||

29.1 to JA Leaning, A gift, flicked to deep square leg! Leaning tries to cash in on a juicy leg stump half volley but ends up sending it high into the hands of the sub fielder - on for Zaib - stationed out there for the bouncer!. 97/5 | ||||||||

19.4 to DJ Bell-Drummond, Chipped to Zaib again! This time he's at midwicket and Bell-Drummond has to go. The Kent captain gets a full ball he wants to put away, but flicks it aerially, well-taken by Zaib above his head. 69/2 19.5 to TS Muyeye, Weatherall's on a hat-trick! Muyeye, top-scorer in the first innings, goes for a golden duck, yorked by a delivery that would have crashed into leg stump, moving late through the air.. 69/3 23.1 to BG Compton, Off stump gone for a walk! Weatherall has his third, breaching Compton's defense from wide of the crease with a delivery that nips in a touch more upon pitching to sneak between bat and pad, sending off cartwheeling. 76/4 | ||||||||
| 9 | 2 | 31 | 1 | 3.44 | 40 | 0 | 0 | |
18.6 to Z Crawley, Slapped to cover! A tame way to fall after some tidy work. Broad's length delivery sits up and Crawley snatches too early, guiding it straight to Zaib who can't believe his luck. 66/1 | ||||||||
| 6 | 1 | 6 | 2 | 1.00 | 30 | 0 | 0 | |
46.5 to KJ Dudgeon, . 151/8 52.6 to Jaskaran Singh, Arm ball does the trick! Singh's feet are planted as he leans forward to defend, but the ball is darted in and skids into the pads. The umpire's finger is raised almost immediately. 167/9 | ||||||||
