A bit of a farce this really.

I thinks it's good they have done it for the crowd that came tbh

They probably didn't want to refund the tickets, if you're taking the cynical point of view.

I really meant as a contest, and there wasn't much of that. I'd be saying the same if the result was reversed.

I get that though, these games are essential to clubs, especially the ones not in the south of England who next year are getting screwed

It's really shocking that there's only one test match in the North, whilst London gets 50% of matches.

Third day interrupted by rain. Kent 293 and 196-5, Lancashire 284. Kent 205 ahead.

….i suppose it’s now a matter of when Kent declare and whether they’ll dangle a carrot for Lancs to go at a gettable target. Maybe bat until lunch in what could be a battle for the wooden spoon.

Very cynical! If I'd travelled and got settled in the ground ,,I'd rather see 5 overs than nothing and a refund

Brook needs to give himself a chance. He's all over the place

That was probably the worst innings of his international T20 career.

Mitch Stanley getting another five wickets this innings after five in the first for Lancs. Can't say I've heard much about him.

Anyway, looks like Kent are settling for a draw.

He was signed from Worcestershire a couple of years' ago, and has recently had a one year extension. Fast bowler who's more noted for limited overs matches. He's only 24 so here's hoping, we could certainly use a 90 mph speedster.

Was only supposed to be a white ball signing IIRC too.

Not sold on him but nice to see some returns. The pace bowling stocks need some consideration with Bailey on the downturn and Jimmy being, well, Jimmy. Luke Wood is a white ball player now, Saqib same.

Lancashire need 303 to win, currently 124-2. Stanley's bowling figures for the match, 11 for 180.

 

[summerisle]

It's piddling down again, Lancashire 138-3, Harris 50*, that'll be it for the day I would think.

More players unavailable then for T20 Finals day.
