At close of play on the third day a Kent win had looked a formality, probably by an innings. However, a stoical Notts rearguard action for much of the final day left Kent needing 168 to win, and after an ill-judged and chaotic chase they ended on the defensive, as shown here, finishing on 86 for 6 as the match was drawn. (At the moment this picture was taken, the Notts fielders surrounded two Kent bats, Ben Compton and Joey Evison, who formerly played for Notts, as did one of the umpires, Paul Pollard.) Kent 446 and 86 for 6, Notts 265 and 348. Match drawn.
