Kent 357 for 7 (van Jaarsveld 174*, Stevens 80) v Glamorgan
Scorecard
Kent overcame a shaky start thanks to another fine innings from Martin van Jaarsveld. He received impressive support from Darren Stevens, who contributed 80 to a fourth wicket stand of 143, after Kent stumbled to 60 for 3. David Fulton fell to the first ball of the match, caught behind off David Harrison, while Robert Key fell in Darren Thomas's opening spell. Robert Croft and Dean Cosker, Glamorgan's spinners, kept their side in the game with a middle-order wicket each but could not dislodge van Jaarsveld. Each middle order batsmen chipped in a useful partnership contribution, with James Tredwell making 27 in his first Championship appearance of the season. van Jaarsveld passed 700 runs for the season when he reached 166 and this was fourth hundred of the summer. Despite their best efforts Glamorgan's attack lacked the killer touch as the early strikes in the morning session became a distant memory in the face of van Jaarsveld's stroke play.
