Another pathetic effort from Lancashire's top order - 38-5, Kent all out for 261. That's what you get when you appoint Blenkenstein as coach, 2 wins out of 28 matches for Gloucestershire, zilch in 2023.

38-6, relegation beckons.

"He is a fantastic fit for what we're trying to achieve, has demonstrable leadership ability, a strong record of developing and nurturing young, talented players to fulfil their potential and has also been part of winning teams, particularly at Durham and Hampshire.

"I am looking forward to working with Dale and welcoming him to Emirates Old Trafford in the new year, as we continue to build on the foundations that have been laid in recent years with an exciting group of players.

Chilton conveniently omits Blekenstein's dismal record at his last club, Gloucestershire.
