Really thought he might today. Throwing a great position away here. 

A stupid shot but why should we be surprised

Need to buckle down now. We’ve scored at a decent rate. No need to play any risky shots. Need to get 340-350 and grind our way there is fine. 

[OwnGoal]

Green out first ball ffs

[Sunbury Fox]

The batting in recent games has been very hit and miss. We've largely been dependent on 2 or 3 players scoring the runs, with lots of low scores otherwise.

Must be doing something if Matt Parkinson has a 5fer on Day 1

[Bert]

I think we’ve done well to get this score on a pitch that was turning on the second session of day 1.

Just needs some brains.

Yeah it’s turning square but some of the dismissals have been brain dead. Hill and Rehan got tricky ones but the other three were stupid shots.

[Sunbury Fox]

Stupid shots continue. Van Beek should have focused on staying with Holland.

Cricket is all about hit and miss!!

I’m will it again exactly the same as last  game, dropping it s a mistake, he always sures up middle order, make it hard for ourselves don’t we. For all saying Derbyshire in trouble, on par with us now.  Need a tail to wag

In a surprise to absolutely nobody, Scriven scores more runs than Kimber 

[AjcW]

We’ve clearly adopted a bit of bazzball haven’t we. Can tell by the divide in here too  

[OwnGoal]

Not quite sure why we ain’t padding away most of Parkinson’s deliveries. Five balls an over pitching a foot outside leg. Make him have to change his line. He’s landing it in some rough and we are still offering the bat.

Scriven in at 10 is an absolute cheat code.

Totally agree. 

[Ted Maul]

I'd still say we're on top here- Kent's form with the bat has been poor recently. Might even work in our favour slightly given that we'll probably only have 3 days.

Deffo rather have these runs than be the bowling side. Especially if we are likely to lose a day.

Do we get a crack at them tonight if we are all out in the next couple?

Scriven’s first class average is about 4 higher than Kimber. I feel he’s more a number 7 than Kimber, who is frankly a fraud of a player

10 overs left in the day. Lose 2 for the change.

Reckon that’ll be stumps. Bad light.

Got a few more in. 14 more runs in the morning would be wonderful.

Came on here first, read the comments, assumed we were struggling to get 250. Fled to BBC scorecard aaaand breathe!

Haha mini collapse, were on for a really big one, but tailed off then clung for a few at the end. Rollercoaster but can’t really complain with smashing nearly 400 in a day, their spinner taking 7 and our spinner in form. We are in a very strong position.
